The Pittsburgh Steelers have had many many signature plays from their eight Super Bowl appearances. Most of the most memorable plays from those games are positive as the Steelers have six Super Bowl championships. But there are a few which will always stand out for all the wrong reasons.

One of the biggest negatives for Pittsburgh is the costly fumble by running back Rashard Mendenhall in Super Bowl XLV. The fumble didn’t end the game but it was still brutal. The Steelers had momentum heading into the fourth quarter and the fumble gave the football back to the Green Bay Packers which they quickly turned into a touchdown. The Packers beat the Steelers 31-25.

With nothing going on in sports thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, networks are replaying old games and when Super Bowl XLV came on the opened up an old would for Mendenhall. And with social media being what it is, Steelers fans came out in droves to call Mendenhall out.

This didn’t please Mendenhall and he took to Twitter to essentially challenge all these fans who are posting about it. We aren’t going to post the tweet here because it is certainly not safe for work, even from home. But if you just have to see the video you can click here.
