VT. “If they want the Bears to win at all costs, then just give them the championship. Don’t waste your time playing these predetermined games.” Those were the explosive words of Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren after a tense game against the Bears. Jaylen Warren accused the referees of overlooking a series of clear fouls committed by the Bears, putting the Steelers at a constant disadvantage.
“If they want the Bears to win at all costs, then just give them the championship. Don’t waste your time playing these demo games.”
Those were the fiery words from Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren, right after a tense game against the Chicago Bears — and the entire NFL was shocked.
It wasn’t a complaint. It wasn’t a momentary emotion. It was the roar of a player who had seen too much wrongdoing right before his eyes.
According to Warren, a series of clear-cut Bears fouls were… completely ignored by the referees. Shirt pulls, backstabs, late hits — all in front of cameras, in front of millions of viewers, but never a flag fell. Meanwhile, the slightest touch from the Steelers was immediately penalized.
“We can’t play football with one-sided rules,” Warren said in the press room, his voice filled with indignation. “If the league already decided who won, why do we need to fight on the field?”
Several Steelers players stood behind Warren, nodding angrily. Sources say that in the tunnel after the game, at least three Pittsburgh players questioned the referees about the calls that weren’t called — especially a roughing clear-cut on Russell Wilson that was completely ignored, leaving the team seething.
Social media exploded within minutes of Warren’s comments. Steelers fans were angry, Bears fans were angry, and pundits were fiercely divided. Many analysts asserted that from the third quarter on, the referees’ decisions “went in an inexplicable direction.”
Not stopping there, a slow-motion video is going viral, showing at least three Bears facemask calls — none of which were called.
The NFL remains silent. No statement. No justification. No explanation.
But one thing is for sure: Jaylen Warren’s outburst has opened the door to the biggest debate of the week. Was it just a random mistake? Or were the Steelers really playing a “set-up” game, as Warren suggests?
While everyone is still waiting for a response from the NFL, Jaylen Warren is ready for another story. Because in the world of football, where blood, sweat, and pride are everything — accusations like these aren’t just for venting. They can change the season.
And tonight, Steelers Nation is demanding answers.
