The bottom line was the default calls went nearly 100% against the Seahawks. Forcing the refs to find incontrovertible evidence to overturn the original call.

No touchdown in any other game.

No pushing in any other game. Nudges like that happen all the damn time. Especially not called when the nudge doesn't impact the outcome of the play.

All holding calls went against the Seahawks. One completely bogus call prevented a 40 yard pass to the 2 yard line.

And what the hell was that 15 yard personal foul low block call against the Seahawks quarterback?! The guy shows real guts and tackles the runner and they call a damn foul against him!

The NFL should investigate the game!

and there was no touchdown by pittsburgh quarterback.. that ball never went over the line

It looked to me like it did. It only need to touch the line, if a molecules width of the ball hits the beginning of the line (or directly over the beginning of the line) its a touchdown).
