Buffalo Bills vs. New York Giants FIGHT! Josh Allen Throws Body Check After Shoving Match
The Buffalo Bills and New York Giants made it clear from the opening kickoff that there was going to be some emotions running for Sunday's meeting at Highmark Stadium.
And at the end of the third quarter after a one-yard run from running back Latavius Murray, things boiled over. Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence pushed Bills offensive lineman Spencer Brown onto the ground. As Brown got up, things boiled over into the end zone where Leonard Williams joined in and shoved Brown back to the ground again. While there was some hard shoving, no punches were thrown, Josh Allen can be seen coming into the end zone and shoving Giants players in defense of Brown by delivering a hard body check.
Take a look:
It was difficult to tell with all the attention on Brown and Lawrence, but Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins and Giants second-year linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux had a separate tussle on the side that stemmed from the two continuing to block each other after the play was over.

Dawkins ended up being the only Bill that was flagged on the play. Lawrence, Williams and Thibodeaux were all flagged for the Giants, though all penalties were offsetting.
Though the penalties didn't impact the actual game, fines from the league might be coming for these four later in the week.
The Bills ended up scoring a few plays later to take a 7-6 lead, but the Giants responded with a field goal to take the lead back at 9-7.
