Overview
- The NFL issued a $11,593 fine to Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward for unsportsmanlike conduct after he taunted Josh Allen following a third-quarter Bills touchdown.
- Josh Allen was not fined after the league’s routine postgame review concluded that replay angles did not clearly show Heyward’s allegation that Allen kneed him.
- Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis was fined $6,500 for unnecessary roughness for use of the helmet, and defensive end A.J. Epenesa was fined $11,593 for taunting.
- Heyward publicly maintained that Allen kneed him in the stomach and said Allen acknowledged trying to get him off, a claim that remains disputed because broadcast video was inconclusive.
- Buffalo enforced the taunting penalty on the ensuing kickoff, and Bills kicker Matt Prater sent the kick out of bounds, resulting in Pittsburgh starting at the 25-yard line.
