They did the same type of block on Andre Smith when he got hurt. I think the refs saw the Steeler player go flying and just assumed it was an illegal block.
They called it a Crack Back block and yes, illegal. The rule was put into place after Warren Sapp cut that guy (Clifton?) from the Packers in half. Yeah, it was definitely a penalty.
by definition I don't think it actually was a crack back block, but more of a peel back.
