It really seems like NFL fans have a lot of anger built up this season. Following a wild brawl between Chargers and Rams fans, the Steelers and Lions supporters also got into it on Sunday. It all started when a woman slapped a man in the face, which absolutely set him off. Take a look:

Actually, it does appear it was Steelers fans who were throwing hands with one another. She clearly yelled some NSFW words at the African-American man before slapping him then all hell broke loose. He proceeded to connect on a punch with both her and the boyfriend, then seemingly knocked out the guy with an absolute haymaker. The damage was done and it basically stopped there. Wild.
Fans were allowed at a limited capacity in 2020 and only at some stadiums across the US. It appears the excitement of finally being back in an NFL venue is too much to handle. We know Steelers supporters can be wild anyway, but c'mon, this is just preseason.
As for the game, the Steelers beat the Lions, 26-20. Pittsburgh Police are currently investigating the incident that happened at Heinz Field.
Fans need to relax and at least leave the brawls for the games that matter.
