Josh Allen vs. Cam Heyward beef: Why Steelers and Bills stars are feuding in Week 13 image

There is some serious beef between Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward.

In the first half of the Week 13 game between the two teams, Heyward and Allen have been regularly jawing at each other after plays.

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.

With Heyward clearly looking like the more upset guy in the back and forth, it would appear that Allen said something that really got under Heyward's skin, something that isn't easy to do given Heyward's wealth of experience.

That has not been confirmed, though.

Then, after a touchdown by the Bills in the third quarter, Heyward got in Allen's face yet again and he was actually flagged for a taunting penalty.

That's right, a defender on a team that just let up a touchdown got flagged for taunting. This game has a little bit of everything.

The game has been chippy, and not just because of the Heyward-Allen feud.

We saw both teams get into a scuffle late in the second quarter after Allen took a late hit from linebacker Patrick Queen while the Bills quarterback was giving himself up on a carry.

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.
