Mike Tomlin Steps Onto Field, Prevents Jacoby Jones From Scoring TD

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin sees Jason Kidd's staged soda spill and raises him an "'accidentally' step onto field and prevent Jacoby Jones from reaching the end zone on a kickoff return."


Officials could have, and should have, awarded Jones a touchdown for sideline interference. At the very least, they could have flagged Tomlin a 15-yard penalty. (Look closely: Tomlin initially steps further INTO Jones's way, not out of it.) Officials did neither, and Baltimore eventually settled for a field goal. What's going on here? [NBC]
