Why the hell did this Pick Six count and not be recalled?
Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt guarded Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens on the outside of the formation. Pickens tried to break inside, but he couldn’t because Taylor-Britt grabbed his head.
Seriously, Taylor-Britt caught Pickens’ helmet, brought him to the ground and then intercepted the pass. See for yourself.
Look, has Pickens stumbled a bit yet? Yes, his release wasn’t the cleanest and he lost control of his body. Still, you shouldn’t be able to grab a man’s helmet and get away scot-free. Plus, there was a referee standing right next to these two! Why do you miss that?

Luckily, the Steelers responded with a touchdown on their next drive to at least break even. But if this game ends in a touchdown and the Steelers lose, you can bet there will be a fair amount of frustration after that call.
