As it turns out, there's no rule against disrupting a team's cadence with a defensive line shift, so long as it doesn't involve "words or signals." To recap, the Steelers knew the Patriots used this tactic from watching film, committed a false start penalty on the sequence anyhow, and then complained about it afterwards.
