Minkah Fitzpatrick #39 of the Pittsburgh Steelers looks on from the field at Acrisure Stadium on September 18, 2023 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were up 23-7 over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football... but then, this play happened.

The refs, in true mid-season form, flagged All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for roughing the passer on this hit to Jimmy Garoppolo.
