The Pittsburgh Steelers went to Buffalo on Sunday and… got blown out, 38-3, by Josh Allen and the Bills.
Seriously, this one was over pretty much after Allen hit Gabe Davis on a beautiful 98-yard TD pass in the first quarter.
Things did get a bit chippy between these two teams in the second half, however, after the Bills hit Steelers rookie QB Kenny Pickett pretty good on a couple of questionable plays.
The first one came on a run by Pickett late in the third quarter. He went into his slide but got lit up by Damar Hamlin, who was actually his college teammate at Pitt, and it led to his offensive linemen – James Daniels – tossing Hamlin to the ground.

The other play happened late in the fourth and it led to Pickett showing some fight after the play:

That scuffle led to an ejection:
Bills defensive lineman A.J. Epenesa reached the locker a minute before his teammates, as he was ejected for elbowing referee John Hussey, who is livid. SVP/officiating Walt Anderson affirmed the ejection. 5th ejection of season, 2nd by Hussey in 2 weeks.pic.twitter.com/eoDHKl1Rah

NFL fans had a lot of reactions to those hits.

Bills just keep fumbling the likability bag. https://t.co/7Bpxvao5I7

No flag for the hit, no flag for an entire sideline jumping Daniels, but you flag a lineman for sticking up for his QB. Garbage call https://t.co/tZlOjWcOj0

It is amazing how different some quarterbacks get treated. Hamlin is banned from the NFL if this is Brady. Not even a flag, amazing https://t.co/jnq9mNKVGc
