The Pittsburgh Steelers faced a contentious loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, marked by missed calls from referees, particularly regarding punches thrown by Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.

Wide receiver Calvin Austin was penalized for unnecessary roughness, while Slay escaped without punishment. Referee Alan Eck stated there was no evidence of punches, a claim disputed by Steelers players, including George Pickens, who suggested the NFL has a bias against Pittsburgh.

As the Steelers navigate this challenging season, they may need to adapt their playing style to mitigate penalties.
