Tempers flared pregame between the Bills and Patriots
Division games are always intense for the Patriots, especially with Rex Ryan-led teams.
Players from both teams, including Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, were involved in a shoving match on the field before the game:

Even a coach got involved:

It’s safe to say there’s no love lost between these teams.
