Steelers-Packers fight: Green Bay and Pittsburgh get into on-field scuffle

Things are getting chippy between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers during the Week 8 game on Sunday night.

The fisticuffs happened after a Steelers punt. Multiple special teams players on both teams got locked up and it started a scuffle that led to a flag and even a few of the officials went down.

Things were getting heated well before that play, so this scuffle seemed inevitable. Check out the video of how the fight started below.

And here’s what happened after the initial scuffle.

Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig clearly didn’t take kindly to the two Packers players seemingly holding down his teammate, and rightly so.

Herbig was punished with an unnecessary roughness penalty for trying to defend his teammate, though, and it cost the Steelers 15 yards.

The Steelers entered the second half with a 16-7 lead, but the Packers have come roaring back to take a 22-19 lead as of this writing.
