The now-Steelers franchise, in its first year of its existence and using the baseball team’s eponym, were hit with what was likely to have been the largest offensive penalty in NFL history. At the time, a foul for striking, kneeing, or kicking an opponent was an ejection and was penalized half the distance to the goal. A foul from one’s own 10 would be a 5-yard penalty; own 40, a 20-yard penalty, and so on. The Pirates were on their opponent’s 2-yard line when fullback Tony Holm was flagged f...

At the time, offensive holding was always enforced 15 yards from the spot of the foul, resulting in penalties of 22 and 20 yards. Faced with a monstrous 3rd & 52, Gi...

That same day, the Saints were trying to rally back from 25-14 down with two minutes to go. On 2nd & 6 from his own 45, quarterback Billy Kilmer completed a bomb what looked like a 55-yard touchdown to Ken Burrough, but Burrough was called for offensive pass interference. The next snap saw another holding call on the Saints, with an unsportsmanlike penalty tacked on after the Saints protested. Facing 3rd & 50 from his own 1, Kilmer was sacked in the end zone by John Zook, fumbled, and Falcons...
