The Bills weren’t penalized Sunday for shoving New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett prior to the two teams’ Week 4 matchup, but the NFL reportedly levied fines against three Buffalo players after the fact.
The wallet of Bills safety Robert Blanton was hit the hardest. Blanton was the Bills player who bumped Brissett as the quarterback jogged down the field, sparking the brawl.
