Wow. What a difference 18 seconds makes. Even the other six on-field officials and San Diego's clock operator could be in trouble. I assume the side judge was suspended because it nearly cost Pittsburgh a win and this kind of error is much worse than missing a penalty in the end zone. Remember Le'Veon Bell was so close to not scoring on the last play, which was first down, the touchdown had to be reviewed.
