Years ago an MIT student every day put bird seed and crumbs on Harvard's field and blew a whistle (Pavlov conditioning) and when Yale played Harvard that year, anytime a whistle was blown pigeons would attack the field. My guess is this is something similar. Some kid played a long prank

False Start, Offense on Pigeon, 5 yard penalty, still 1st down

[@aarons.2595]

Same thing happened during the Steelers game the week before, which caused a local reporter to do some digging. It turns out because it had been so unseasonably warm in Pittsburgh the grounds crew has been putting down grass seeds as part of their field maintenance. The pigeons were coming in to eat it to try to fatten up before the winter. So the announcers weren't that far off. Go team!
