There is no love lost between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills. That was evident in the first quarter of their “Monday Night Football” matchup at Gillette Stadium.
Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham blatantly laid out Patriots quarterback Tom Brady well after he released the ball on a pass.

Brady’s pass was intercepted after it deflected off Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski’s hands, but the play was later called back because of a penalty. Bradham wasn’t flagged for his borderline dirty hit, though.
The Patriots went on to score on a Stephen Gostkowski field goal eight plays later.
