The Pittsburgh Steelers are frustrated, trailing the New Orleans Saints at home, and that frustration spilled over into a late hit and a mini-fracus.

The New Orleans Saints are having their way with the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field and as the fourth quarter rolled around, the Steelers are giving in to some frustration.

After Mark Ingram took the ball around the left end for a 31-yard gain, cornerback Ike Taylor blasted him well after the play was over out of bounds.

The Saints didn’t take kindly to the love tap from Taylor and a real, authentic NFL fight ensued—meaning lots of large fellows gathering in a crowd with some pushing and a lot of talking.

No punches were thrown, as this collection of professional football players all seemed to realize the utter futility and risk involved in throwing a punch as a guy wearing a plastic helmet with a large facemask attached to it.

Taylor was flagged for a late hit on the play and one play later, the Saints scored again on Drew Brees’ fifth touchdown pass of the day, a 3-yarder to Marques Colston.

The Saints, with just one road win this season, can take sole possession of first place in the NFC South if they can hang on for the win and get an Atlanta Falcons loss to the Arizona Cardinals later Sunday.
