The Buffalo Bills dominating performance earned them a spot in the divisional round, while the Pittsburgh Steelers are heading home as their season is officially over.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stepped up the podium, prepared to field questions on the loss. But there was one question that was raised that made him have a very controversial reaction.
One reporter started by saying, "Mike, you have a year left on your contract," but before she could finish, Tomlin walked right off and left the room.
Tomlin's future with the Steelers has been up in the air all season given their struggles, but this loss to the Bills has shown a new side to the head coach. He could have declined to answer, but instead he walked right off.
That's not something you see often.
And he's not the only one who had a "tantrum" of sorts, with Steelers receiver George Pickens also caught on camera slamming his helmet to the game. His anger was after he felt the officials missed a clear defensive pass interference call that would have continued Pittsburgh's drive.
Seems to be a trend on Monday.
The Bills dominance started early, with Buffalo jumping out to a 21-0 lead in the first half. The Steelers were able to come back a little bit, getting seven points on the board before the half.
They came out strong to start the second half, making it a one score game, but the Bills solidified the victory with another touchdown and then forced the Steelers to turn it over on downs immediately after.
Now we wait to see what happens with Tomlin.
