CBS studio analyst and former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Long shared his opinion about a topic debated throughout the day by fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals.
Joe Goodberry shared a video clip of Steelers offensive lineman Mason McCormick grabbing Bengals defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence's leg and lifting it off the ground while trying to contain Lawrence, with the caption, "Mason McCormick was doing this all game. New technique or illegal?"
"Offensive line always preach unweighting the defender," Long tweeted. "Lawrence started the play at around 290 lbs and at some point his weight went to 100 lbs. I've seen some crafty stuff but the single leg takedown is one that shouldn't happen although I love the ingenuity."
Lawrence
finished the Bengals' first loss of the season with four tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss and two QB hits.
He jawed with Steelers receiver DK Metcalf after a second-quarter penalty that resulted in a skirmish between the teams.
