Either the crowd at this game is 60/40 Pitt/Cincy fans, or the locals are allergic to rain.

the only thing worse than jim nantz calling football is when is calls golf...he's the fucking worst

[Kaius]

That was awesome.

[Monkey_Driven]

Was the first game one of the worst playoff games ever?

[Kaius]

Is a fumble caused by an illegal hit still a fumble?

[E.H. Ruddock]

Things not going so well for Cincy

[Kaius]

Was that not helmet to helmet? He KOd him. Of course he fumbled.

When you become a runner, there ain't no helmet-to-helmet penalty. But I imagine that rule will change in the next 2-3 years.

[Kaius]

Ah.

[Kaius]

Go Bengals.

[Simple Torture]

This game isn't over. Imagine: the Bengals come back to win, and stip wins the lotto. What a time to be alive.

I thought all helmet to helmet hits were illegal

Only on the QB and on recievers who haven't established themselves as runners.

Helmet-to-helmet contact is essentially illegal for all runners outside the tackle box. Technically it's the whether or not the "crown" is used, but that's largely been done away with and now just seems to be anything not the facemask or side of the helmet.

Seriously, these announcers in the PIT/CIN game are the worst I've ever heard

CBS has the Super Bowl this year too.

Will it be these two?! Oh god

yeah man, they're cbs's lead team.

[nyquillyn]

A 15-yard penalty will be called if a runner or a tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players clearly are outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle-to-tackle and from 3 yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive team's end line). Incidental contact by the helmet of a runner or a tackler against an opponent would not be deemed a foul.

[Kaius]

He wasn't in the tackle box was he?
