Overview
- The unsportsmanlike conduct followed Allen’s fourth-down touchdown and an on-field exchange between the two players.
- Officials flagged Heyward for taunting, and Buffalo elected to apply the penalty on the ensuing kickoff.
- Exploiting the new kickoff rules, Bills kicker Matt Prater booted the ball out of bounds to force Pittsburgh to start at its 25-yard line.
- The Steelers went three-and-out on the next series and punted as Buffalo kept momentum.
- Heyward said he reacted to “extracurricular” contact from Allen, but the NFL issued no fine to Allen while announcing other fines from the game.
