Some might call it gamesmanship, others might suggest it was nothing more than taking a dive and faking an injury to save a timeout. Wherever you stand on Steelers' wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and the mysterious (and fleeting) injury that befell him late in Sunday night's game against the Bengals, the league hasn't yet disciplined the second-year player though the situation is still being reviewed.

After the Bengals sacked quarterback Ben Roethlisberger with just over six minutes to play and the Steelers leading 24-17, Sanders fell to the turf with what appeared to be a left leg injury. It led to an official's timeout, which did two things: saved the Steelers from having to use one of their own, and allowed them to get the correct personnel on the field for third-and 11.

The spectacle led NBC color analyst Cris Collinsworth to observe, "All I know is, Emmanuel Sanders is in the huddle and he's not looking like he's in too much pain now (see above left). And then … oh boy, here comes the cramp (above middle) and he goes down (above right). So now they don't have to burn the timeout. That is a savvy play, let's call it that, on the part of the Pittsburgh Steelers."

Boothmate and play-by-play man Al Michaels was less impressed.

"Yeah, but our cameras are everywhere and we'll see how savvy it is in the league office tomorrow."

According to ProFootballTalk.com's Michael David Smith, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said that Sanders wasn't called to league headquarters in Manhattan nor was he disciplined. Smith writes that the league is still reviewing the situation, however.

This comes a year after the NFL distributed a memo that said "all those suspected of being involved in faking injuries will be summoned promptly to the office."

Last September, then-Giants safety Deon Grant was accused of faking an injury, which prompted finger-pointing from others. Reggie Bush said the Saints had a fake injury play of their own, and former Colts coach Tony Dungy cited the Texans as the biggest offenders for fake injuries.

Back in Cincinnati…

After the Steelers failed to convert on third down, Sanders miraculously returned to the field. Pittsburgh lined up as if it was going to go for it on fourth-and-11, but Roethlisberger took the snap and quick-kicked. Any guesses on who sprinted down the field to down the punt? Yep, Sanders.

"Man, I'm sure glad Sanders is OK," Michaels said sarcastically.

"It's a miracle," Collinsworth added.

Apparently, the league thinks so, too. For now, anyway.
