Time added to Patriots-Steelers game

The following is a statement by Mike Pereira, the NFL's director of officiating. (Sept. 26, 2005) -- "In yesterday's Pittsburgh-New England game, the game clock was improperly reset early in the fourth quarter, resulting in 52 seconds being added to the game's official time. "With 14:51 remaining in the fourth quarter, a Pittsburgh run from the Steelers' 30-yard line resulted in the ball carrier being tackled for no gain. The game clock properly continued to run. However, before the ball was snapped for the next play, a false start penalty against the Steelers stopped the clock with 13:59 remaining. Following the enforcement of the penalty and before the ball was snapped for the next play, the game clock was improperly reset to 14:51 again, instead of remaining at 13:59. "The on-field officiating crew, which oversees the official game clock operated in the press box, failed to recognize that the clock was improperly reset." New England won the game 23-20 in Pittsburgh.
