Jeff Reed kicked a 19-yard field goal with 2:19 remaining to hand the Miami Dolphins a 23-22 loss to Pittsburgh dropping the Dolphins to 0-3 at home and 3-3 overall this season.
But, the question of the day is: Should it have come to that...???
On 3rd and Goal from the Miami 2, Ben Roethlisberger went for the endzone off a scramble. Officials initially ruled a touchdown, but the Dolphins challenged.
After a lengthy review ((the video below)) it was decided Roethlisberger fumbled before he crossed the goal line. But since the officials, on the field or otherwise, couldn't figure out who recovered and the replay couldn't give definitive proof- the Steelers were given the ball inside the 1, fourth and goal.
Then, the Reed field goal...
Here's the play, the review, and the aftermath...
Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf are on the mic...
"This leaves a bitter taste," said Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby. "A bitter taste... They took that game from us."
That'd be about right...
