A brief skirmish broke out following a special teams play in the Sunday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. It resulted in an official being taken to the ground.
The physicality started when linebacker Nick Herbig pushed a Green Bay player in the back. He was flagged for a personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct, but tempers flared and several others got involved.
As a result, two officials ended up hitting the deck while trying to separate things between the Packers and Steelers. You can view that below.

“Oh, fight going on here at the 42-yard line,” NBC broadcaster Mike Tirico said on the call. “Flags at the back end. We had rough stuff going, and officials got taken down in the pushing after the initial flag was thrown, so this is going to take a minute to sort.
“We’ve had several plays as this has been a slow build and burn with these teams afterward. The action started with Ben Skowronek , the gunner. There he is, 15 for the Steelers. Bo Melton , 16 for the Packers.”
The Packers led 22-19 at the time of the infraction, with about 13 minutes remaining in the game. It has been a competitive affair so far.
