Viewers lambasted members of Sunday night's crowd after Steelers fans were seen doing the 'wave' while Seahawks defensive end Darrell Taylor was being treated for a neck injury on the field.

Taylor, 24, was carted off at around 11.20pm with three minutes left in the fourth quarter, and Steelers fans seemed to rejoice in the injury.

The defensive end was diving to tackle Steelers running back Najee Harris when the crown of his head made direct contact with the torso of teammate Al Woods, a 330-pound defensive tackle, according to Yahoo Sports

His head jerked back awkwardly and he slowly rolled over on his back. Video from the field shows shows him being loaded onto a stretcher. 

Despite the scary moment, early CT scans were clear and he was set to fly back with the team early Monday morning.

It appears some fans of the opposing team may have taken the opportunity as a cause for celebration. 

Video on Reddit appears to show Sunday night's crowd doing the 'wave' - where members of the crowd stand up and raise their arms in succession - while Taylor was being treated on the field. 

'Look at this s***,' said a man off camera. 'Celebrating - celebrating an injury.'

'Steelers fans were doing the wave while medical staff was attending to him, and Seahawks DE Carlos Dunlap was angry at the crowd. Steelers players signalling to crowd to stop,' tweeted ESPN reporter Brooke Pryor.

It is unclear if the 'wave' was done on purpose
