New York Jets Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich was confronted with a challenge flag during a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets had the ball at the Pittsburgh three-yard line and attempted to run it for a touchdown. Breece Hall was near the goal line and the Jets considered appealing the decision that he was short of the end zone. Ulbrich decided to contest the call, but accidentally dropped the flag and was unable to throw it as required for verification.

Jeff Ulbrich faced a challenge flag during a game against the Steelers

In Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets running back Breece Hall was stopped near the goal line despite appearing to cross the finish line. Coach Jeff Ulbrich attempted to throw a challenge flag to check Hall’s run, but accidentally dropped it to the ground at his feet. The incident highlights the potential for misconduct in football.
Aaron Rodgers connected with Tyler Conklin on a touchdown pass while Ulbrich’s challenge flag was ruled too late. The pitchside incident was bizarre: Chris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico were confused by the botched flag throw and laughed at the gaffe. Rodgers’ touchdown pass wasn’t particularly momentous, but it was a memorable moment.
Rodgers’ touchdown pass prevented Ulbrich from scoring, leading to a humorous mistake by the Jets’ new coach. Had the Jets scored, the perception of the mistake would have been different. Still, New York managed to score six points and extend its lead to 15-6, extending its lead over Pittsburgh.
