According to the Steelers\u2019 captain, Allen\u2019s knee \u201cdeliberately\u201d made contact with his lower abdomen while the two were tangled up after a tackle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\">\n<div id=\"ub-banner3\" class=\"adsconex-banner\" data-ad-placement=\"banner3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Heyward, visibly emotional, recounted the incident in graphic detail, emphasizing the intentional nature of the move.

In a post-game interview, Allen denied any malintent, calling it a \u201cfootball play\u201d and refusing to acknowledge the apparent nature of the knee to Heyward\u2019s stomach.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\">\n<div id=\"ub-banner6\" class=\"adsconex-banner\" data-ad-placement=\"banner6\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.77ne.com\/storage\/9d5748b3-6404-460b-a75d-68e7f3cf52a2.webp\" width=\"780\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div id=\"ub-banner7\" class=\"adsconex-banner\" data-ad-placement=\"banner7\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>His subtle and respectful denial, while not overtly combative, infuriated Heyward, who felt that Allen was downplaying a situation that had caused him physical and emotional distress.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">\n<div id=\"ub-banner8\" class=\"adsconex-banner\" data-ad-placement=\"banner8\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For Heyward, it wasn\u2019t just about the physical impact of the hit \u2013 it was the dismissal of his pain that pushed him over the edge.
