The Pittsburgh Steelers thought they sealed the deal.
With a minute to go in regulation, the Minnesota Vikings were looking for a game-tying, or potentially game-winning, drive. Facing a three-point deficit, Vikings QB Carson Wentz loaded up for a pass on first down before the ball fell into the arms of Steelers CB James Pierre.
The cornerback undercut the route, seemingly ending the game in Dublin.
After review, however, the ruling on the field was overturned and the pass was ruled incomplete.
It initially appeared that there wasn’t an angle to overturn the call, but another view emerged from the sideline – showing that Pierre bobbled the ball and didn’t get two feet in bounds.
Wentz would struggle to get anything going on the drive as a shorthanded Minnesota offensive line couldn’t contain the Pittsburgh pass rush.
Luckily for Pierre and the Steelers, it didn’t come back to haunt them. The Vikings couldn’t march into field goal range and Pittsburgh held on for the 24-21 victory in the NFL’s first Dublin game.
