“Push out” was such a stupid rule. Instead of rewarding the DB for keeping the receiver from getting his feet down, they decide to give the WR the benefit of the doubt that the WR would have “probably” got both feet down had he not been pushed. It’s was a terrible stupid rule and I’m so glad they came to their senses about it. It’s like if a RB gets stuffed one yard short of the Endzone, and the officials rule that he would have gotten in the Endzone had the defender not made the tackle. I feel like I’m takin crazy pills here. If anyone can defend the rule respectfully and logically, I’d love to debate it.

Great stat WORK! Crazy thing is Polamalu is not listed, which was a rare occurrence.
I love how the commentator was wrong about everything. Why did he want the Viking to win so bad
Sounded like he wanted to blow the vikings!!

Well said
How many games have been won or lost to that rule. Agree with you should have been changed along time ago.
@@blastechee-3546 The Nathan Poole catch that knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs in 2003 was one example.
I don't think it's a rule anymore
@@blastechee-3546That many, you think??
Pittsburgh's first road game against the Vikings in 19 years
I had no idea. Thanks for the cool bit of trivia. 👍🏼
I was at this game it was miserable all week in Minnesota like zero freaking degrees.
I'd love to see the 1999 opening day re-match of the nfc championship game Vikings at Falcons.
gary cobiak I remember that game fondly...
@@johnphilpot5205Vikings won, I suppose (I forget)? 🙄
Not only could you try to get that but I'm looking for the 2003 Minnesota at Arizona game and the 2005 Green Bay at Minnesota game as well
Hearing the color commentator, either hates the Steelers or LOVES the Vikings.
I love how he was wrong about everything
Wasn't Mike Tomlin on the Vikings coaching staff in this game?
No, he was only with Minnesota in 2006 that’s it.
This year, the Steelers will FINALLY play in Minnesota again.
Can you please upload Vikings falcons week 4 2005
Poor Screen Quality!

Poor video quality
