It has been revealed that a mistake was made during the closing stages of the Steelers\u2019 Week 14 win.<\/p>\n

Rodgers<\/a>, 42, attempted a pass during the fourth quarter against the Ravens.<\/p>\n

The veteran quarterback\u2019s pass was batted back towards him.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Rodgers and Ravens linebacker Teddye Buchanan, 23, both appeared to grab the ball simultaneously with an interception called.<\/p>\n

FLAG THAT<\/p>\n

NFL in talks for rule change to see players punished by replay officials more<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

But a replay review suggested that Rodgers caught the ball with a knee down, resulting in no turnover.<\/p>\n

It has been confirmed to NBC Sports<\/a> by an NFL official that this was a mistake.<\/p>\n

The NFL<\/a> is looking to make changes to its video replay protocol ahead of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

A rule change will allow replay officials to throw flags on non-football acts<\/a> during the upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the NFL will not ban the controversial tush push<\/a> despite major uproar.<\/p>\n

The interception error proved crucial for the Steelers as they went on to claim a 27-22 win.<\/p>\n

It ultimately meant that the Ravens finished the 2025 season with just eight wins from 17 games to finish second in the AFC North.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rodgers and the Steelers topped the division with ten wins.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Lamar Jackson<\/a>, 29, has led Ravens stars complaining about the delayed admission on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo technically we won? 10-7 1st offseason win ever,\u201d Jackson posted on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Linebacker Kyle Van Noy, 34, has also weighed in on the unorthodox situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave we ever seen the NFL come out months after a game has been played and admitted they didn\u2019t get 1 huge crucial call in the biggest NFL rivalry game. But they got 2 Crucial calls in same Game wrong!!!\u201d Van Noy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow !!!! Accountability kinda sorta not really but something kinda\u2026 We need some sort of action now because this can not happen at the highest level. I understand 1 but 3????? Smh.\u201d<\/p>\n
