No — there’s no reliable evidence that Mike Tomlin accused Josh Allen of cheating.

What did happen recently is:
* Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward said after the Bills–Steelers game that Josh Allen kneed him in the stomach and called it intentional. This was reported by multiple mainstream outlets like Fox News, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, and others.

* Mike Tomlin’s public comments after that 26–7 loss focused on how badly the Steelers played, calling it “an awful performance by us.” He did not accuse Allen of cheating in those legitimate reports.

The “HE CHEATED!” quote you might have seen comes from low-credibility viral Facebook posts (pages like Lake Effect Legend) that recycle the same dramatic story about Tomlin shouting at Allen and claiming “high-tech equipment” was used. Those posts don’t show up in any reputable news coverage and look like clickbait misinformation.

So, in short:
* Cam Heyward: accused Allen of a dirty/cheap shot (knee to the stomach).
* Mike Tomlin: criticized his own team’s performance, did not publicly accuse Josh Allen of cheating in any credible source.

If you want, I can help you break down exactly what Heyward said and what the league might do about it.
