Tensions were high during the Seattle Seahawks’ Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills Sunday.
As Seattle fell to a 31-10 loss, Derick Hall and Jarran Reed came to blows during a heated sideline brawl after the latter committed a bad penalty.
On third-and-7 with 37 seconds left in the second quarter, Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw an incomplete pass that would have forced a punt on fourth down.
Buffalo, however, was given a lifeline when Hall got to the signal caller late and was flagged for harassing the passer.
As a result of the penalty, the Bills advanced half the distance to the goal and gained a new set of downs.

Allen then found Dalton Kincaid for a 12-yard touchdown just two plays later to see Buffalo take a 14-3 lead.
Reed was furious with 23-year-old Hall for giving up the penalty and made his frustrations known.
The 31-year-old eight-year veteran was seen screaming in his teammates’ faces before Buffalo offensive lineman Dion Dawkins made a surprise intervention to break up the warring teammates.
But Hall reignited the argument on the sideline when he said something to Reed, prompting a violent response from the defensive tackle.
He grabbed his teammate’s face shield and pushed him away before several players and coaches rushed in to separate the pair.
The day didn’t improve for Seattle either, as the Seahawks stuttered to their fourth loss of the season as the Bills turned in a dominant performance in a 31-10 victory.
