Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward is convinced that he's under increased scrutiny from NFL officials watching his every move.

Flagged twice for offensive pass interference penalties last week, Ward thinks the referees were watching him close because of him breaking Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Keith Rivers' jaw a year ago.

"That's where it all went down in Cincinnati," Ward told reporters. "I'm pretty sure they got a high alert, and be conscious of Hines."

"I think the guy was just looking for me to do something. It seems like they're watching every little thing that I do."
