Cincinnati Bengals safety Reggie Nelson was pushed and had his hair grabbed by Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Mike Munchak during the first half of Saturday's AFC Wild Card playoff game.
It happened in the first half as Nelson pushed Jordan Todman out of bounds on the Steelers sideline as Nelson's momentum carried him right into Munchak. Munchak grabbed Nelson and threw him towards the bench.
From another angle, you can see that not only did Munchak grab Nelson's arm, but a piece of his long hair:
Fortunately, the officials saw what happened and called Munchak for unsportsmanlike conduct. Coaches are supposed to be setting an example for their players and shouldn't be getting involved with players from the opposing team.
H/T LBS.

When Mike Munchak was Titans coach his thing was making players wear a suit and tie on the road to look professional pic.twitter.com/B7iSbn1txc— Mike Tunison (@xmasape) January 10, 2016Fortunately, the officials saw what happened and called Munchak for unsportsmanlike conduct.
