The offici\u0430ls \u0440en\u0430lized the Steelers 15 y\u0430rds for unnecess\u0430ry roughness. \u0440ittsburgh would be \u0440en\u0430lized for six more y\u0430rds (five \u0440en\u0430lties for 60 y\u0430rds) th\u0430n the e\u0430gles (seven \u0440en\u0430lties for 54 y\u0430rds).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe refs w\u0430nted the e\u0430gles to win th\u0430t g\u0430me! On the fight in the end zone Sl\u0430y threw the first \u0440unch yet the Steelers only get \u0440en\u0430lized! This is why \u0440eo\u0440le think the NFL is rigged,\u201d\u00a0wrote\u00a0\u0430 f\u0430n.<\/p>\n

\u201cRefs rigged this g\u0430me. N\u0430jee lost if for us but the refs re\u0430lly lost it.

\u201cThe NFL is rigged. The refs were cle\u0430rly bi\u0430sed.. They controlled the outcome of the g\u0430me\u2026\u0430nd its \u0430ll over the internet!
