Heyward Accuses Josh Allen of Intentional Knee Strike
Steelers defensive captain Cameron Heyward revealed that Bills quarterback Josh Allen intentionally kneed him in the stomach during the first half of Sunday’s game, a match the Steelers lost 26-7.The incident occurred when Heyward was trying to get up after tackling Allen on a short play, with less than six minutes left in the first half. Heyward believes Allen’s action was intentional, based on a later comment from the quarterback.I was upset throughout the game, because they protect the quarterbacks, but not me. It just pisses me off.

Heyward made these statements in the Steelers’ locker room after Allen finished his post-game interview. Allen, for his part, also spoke about the tension between both players during the game. Heyward was even penalized for taunting after Allen connected with wide receiver Keon Coleman for a one-yard touchdown in the third quarter.He even said afterwards: ‘I had to do something to get you to let go’.

Maybe it encouraged me a little. We love the competitiveness of this game. He’s a great player. Sometimes you need that fire to motivate you.
