The New York Jets didn’t put up much of a fight against the Buffalo Bills on the field in a 32-6 loss. But, they must have had some fight in them, because players from both teams were involved in a kerfuffle in the tunnel after the game, according to multiple sources.
Take a look at the report.
There was just a HUGE fight in hallway leading back to the locker rooms between the #Jets & #Bills. Dion Dawkins was involved in it from the #Bills. A very emotional Michael Clemons off field, too.

Apparently, the fight included New York Jets defensive lineman Michael Clemons and Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins, and the two had been in an altercation in the second half. That clearly carried over to the tunnel, which for some reason, both teams share in Buffalo.
People were getting their shots in at the Jets for fighting after the game but not during it.
“Jets showed more fight in the tunnel post game then they did in the actual game Embarrassed by a division rival. Shameful on every coach and player,” @NYJ_Matt said.
“It marked the first time the Jets showed fight Sunday,” @DavidFurones_ said.
“How do they pick after the game to decide to show some fight? Saleh must go,” @JetJacket said.
The actual game was a complete disaster for the Jets. At 4-5, the season was at an inflection point as Aaron Rodgers claims he’s getting closer and closer to returning. But, They were out-gained by the Bills 393-155, and the game was never particularly competitive.
The Jets did manage to score a touchdown after forty straight drives without one, but other than that, the offense was just abysmal. The offensive line is nearly as bad as their co-tenants, the New York Giants. And, Zach Wilson is simply not the level of quarterback to help overcome a bad offensive line.
At 4-6, the season is all-but over. Rodgers was rushing himself back from his Achilles tear suffered in week one against the Bills. But, that seems silly now.
