data-mm-id=”_mdr1hbqxf”>The Pittsburgh Steelers got screwed out of three points on Sunday by an incredibly rare penalty. Officials wiped off a 55-yard field goal by Chris Boswell because Steelers offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo allegedly lined up offside. During and after the game, head coach Mike Tomlin was incensed officials made the call. The play came with six second remaining in the first half as the Steelers faced third-and-10 at Jacksonville's 38-yard line. Boswell trotted out to attempt the long kick but it was nullified by the flag on Seumalo. That pushed him back to a 61-yard kick that he missed wide right. Instead of trailing 9-6 at halftime, the Steelers were down 9-3. Here's a view of Seumalo being "offsides":I’d love to know how she called this offsides. pic.twitter.com/xJ8dbfJ1Ok— Jake aellig (@jake_aellig) October 29, 2023This is Tomlin's reaction to the call at the time:Mike Tomlin has the same view of the officials as everybody else, only he actually gets to ask them the question in person:"What the f**k is wrong with y'all today??"pic.twitter.com/ixdFlJc1vp— Sam Monson (@PFF_Sam) October 29, 2023And here he is postgame:I’ve never seen that in 17 years#Steelers Mike Tomlin on offsides call wiping out made field goal pic.twitter.com/M6HN5sO4Ai— 93.7 The Fan (@937theFan) October 29, 2023That'll likely earn him a fine from NFL headquarters but I don't think he cares. It was a terrible call and cost his team points and momentum. In the end the Steelers lost 20-10.

Prediction: Manchester City to win 4-0
Best Odds:
Bookmaker:
Burnley and Manchester City will face each other in the Premier League this week. The match between the Clarets and the Citizens at Turf Moor is slated to kick off at 6pm UK time on Wednesday.
Burnley
Burnley will head into the match against City at Turf Moor on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. That followed a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa at home in the league.
The Clarets are an established club in the Premier League, but they are in danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the season. Burnley are 15th in the league table at the moment with 22 points from 20 matches, eight points above the relegation zone.
Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka both make their Manchester United debuts against Chelsea at Old Trafford, while Frank Lampard has selected Tammy Abraham to lead the line with Mason Mount also starting.
Centre-back Maguire joined United on Monday, costing £80million from Leicester City a fee that makes him the most expensive defender of all time.
And unsurprisingly he instantly slots into United s defence alongside Victor Lindelof, while Wan-Bissaka – a £50m acquisition from Crystal Palace – starts at right-back having impressed during pre-season.
With club captain Ashley Young on the bench, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has chosen David de Gea to wear the armband ahead of Paul Pogba, who starts in midfield alongside Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira.
