Le’Veon Bell went down with a knee injury on a low hit by Bengals safety Reggie Nelson, and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was, apparently, not happy about it. Though the post-game handshake was initially cordial, it eventually got a littttttle bit heated, and Marvin Lewis stepped in to separate the two. It’ll be interesting to see if Tomlin has anything profound to say about the exchange in his press conference.

UPDATE: If Tomlin’s to be believed, apparently this little disagreement was about something else.

“It was not an illegal hit,” Tomlin said. “You gotta ask him [about the words]. He was talking about some he-said-she-said deal. I don’t know what he was talking about. I guess a teammate told him I said something about him that’s untrue. I’ve got a lot of respect for Reggie Nelson. He’s a good player.”
