Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Chukwuma Okorafor was ripped on social media Thursday night after an odd decision to fall on Cleveland Browns linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. while he was already down. The play occurred in the third quarter with the Steelers leading the Browns 14-13. Steelers quarterback Mitchell Trubisky threw a short pass to Jaylen Warren, who made a few moves and gained 35 yards on the play. Okorafor was called for a penalty for being ineligible down field while Walker writhed in pain.

Replay of the incident showed Okorafor throwing a ferocious block at Walker, who immediately went down.
