Calm down, Steelers fans. It wasn't pass interference.
On what would end up being the final offensive play for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams(notes) broke up a fourth-down pass from Ben Roethlisberer to Mike Wallace(notes). The incompletion gave Green Bay the ball with 49 seconds left and effectively ended the game. Both Wallace and Roethlisbeger lobbied officials for a flag that never came.
There was nothing on the play but solid defense by Williams. Roethlisberger had Wallace open in the middle of the field but delivered the ball a little high and a split-second too late. Williams came in and bodied the receiver but didn't make any contact that warranted a flag. The play was there to be made but the Steelers didn't execute.
