Josh Allen vs. Cam Heyward beef: Why Steelers and Bills stars are feuding in Week 13 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
There is some serious beef between Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward.

In fact, we even heard Heyward call Allen a "f****** p****" on the broadcast after the microphone on the field caught the star lineman's naughty words.
As far as what's behind the two stars feuding, we can't say for sure, but it's doesn't take much for two NFL players to beef in any given game.
Allen could've taken a hit from Heyward that he didn't take kindly too. Or it could just be the intensity of the game that has the two Pro Bowlers going at it.
The game has been chippy, and not just because of the Heyward-Allen feud.

Queen was not flagged for the play, but he did come down with an injury.
Another reason why tensions are high with the two teams is because this game is hugely important for both teams.
The Bills are barely clinging to the final spot in the wild-card race as the New England Patriots have control of the AFC East.
The Steelers, on the other hand, are in first place in the AFC North but will lose their spot if they can't beat Buffalo on Sunday.
