""[I was] ticked off the entire game, because as a quarterback they're protected, but I'm not," Heyward said. "It just pisses me off.""
""He even said after, 'I had to do something to get you off me,'" Heyward said."
""Maybe [got me going] a little bit," Allen said. "We love the competitiveness out of this game. He's such a great player. Sometimes you need fire like that to get you going.""
Cameron Heyward said Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen kneed him in the stomach intentionally during a first-half sequence, leaving Heyward angry. The play occurred with less than six minutes remaining in the first half after Heyward tackled Allen on a short run. Heyward said quarterbacks are protected and he felt targeted, quoting Allen as saying, 'I had to do something to get you off me.' Heyward and Allen exchanged chippy interactions throughout the game, and Heyward was flagged for taunting after Allen's one-yard touchdown to Keon Coleman in the third quarter. The Steelers lost 26-7, and Allen said the competitiveness and fire between them can be motivating.
