The officiating of the Oct.2nd meeting of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans looked awful suspicious. Every move by the Texans was watched very closely while the Steelers were allowed to hold on almost every play, while the Texans were still getting to the quarterback. The block in the back call on the blocked FG try was clearly blocked on the side, not the back. Look at the tape, the player falls to his right. Manning had his hand on his back, but pushed him with his left hand, which was on his shoulder. There were several other calls that went against the Texans. It was obvious that was favourtism towards the Steelers. The NFL needs to look at the game tape closely. The correct team ended up winning, but the officials shouldn’t be able to control the outcome and point spread as much as the crew did.
