It seemed that way to me, but I never saw but one replay and the announcers seemed to ignore it. No consulting an ex-official, etc. Maybe it was legal. But the one replay that I saw looked like a helmet-to-helmet hit on a defenseless receiver.
it's all bullshit because the steelers get away with it so often. The nfl acts like they care, but pretty much allow the Rooney's team to get away with it. I've seen multiple steelers hits that would normally get replayed multiple times, and have the commentators talk about the hit in a negative light. But not with pittsburgh. It largely goes ignored, and is chalked up to old school football
