The Steelers had some beef between their backup defensive linemen on Sunday.
In the second quarter of the Steelers-Browns game, Steelers backup defensive linemen Carlos Davis and Isaiah Buggs were seen getting into it on the sideline for whatever reason.

Apparently, the two players have been competing for a spot on the team next season for the last several weeks.
Carlos Davis and Isaiah Buggs. Lots of implications for each of them. Buggs has been with the team for a few seasons, Davis a rookie out of Nebraska. Both late round picks trying to earn a spot in the defensive rotation going forward.

Update: Steelers HC Mike Tomlin joked about the scuffle between the two players after the game.
Mike Tomlin says of the dust up between Carlos Davis and Isaiah Buggs: "We've got some gamecocks and they like to fight a little bit sometimes."
Says it's an emotional game and sometimes things like that happen.
