Pittsburgh Steelers players criticized a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty in Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Pittsburgh Steelers safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick and DeShon Elliott criticized officials for an unnecessary roughness penalty during their Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, which ended 27-24. Fitzpatrick's shoulder-to-shoulder tackle on A.D. Mitchell led to a 15-yard penalty that contributed to a Colts touchdown. Fitzpatrick described the call as "B.S." and raised concerns about the impact of such penalties on the game. Former referee Gene Steratore agreed the call was incorrect.
