Here’s everything that happened in the Jaguars-Bills fight

0 32

Leonard Fournette and Shaq Lawson got ejected. The Jaguars scored zero points.

Sunday’s Bills-Jaguars game started off tense when Jalen Ramsey took time from his busy day to remind Buffalo’s players they were trash. That conflict boiled to a head in the third quarter when a brawl erupted on the turf at New Era Field.

The scuffled started innocently enough. Donte Moncrief hauled in a pass near the end zone over defensive back Levi Wallace, who also got a chunk of the ball as the two tumbled into the end zone. Wallace and Moncrief lay prone near the pylon for an extended stretch in a slow-motion wrestling match for possession as the side judge ruled the play a touchdown. A Jaguars’ player then shoved away Bills safety Micah Hyde, who was protesting the call to the nearby official.

That set off a scrum. Hyde got shoved and grabbed Dede Westbrook in response. His teammates came back pushing and jostling in response. Everything seemed to be a run-of-the-mill, all bark, no bite exchange until Bills defender Shaq Lawson took a shove at Jacksonville tailback Carlos Hyde and drew some punches from Leonard Fournette, who wasn’t on the field for the previous play and had run up the sideline as backup, in retaliation.

What was the outcome of the fight?

Fournette and Lawson both earned ejections, though Lawson wasn’t interested in letting his newfound beef with the Jaguars’ tailback die down. He taunted Fournette as he was being separated and led off the field, even continuing as he was led into the tunnel as part of a referee-mandated ejection.

Fournette also got tossed from the game. And he got punched by a fan from the stands as he made his egress.

But that was just the tip of the crap iceberg for Jacksonville. The Jaguars’ touchdown that kicked off the fight was overturned, instead giving them the ball at the Bills’ one-yard line. Without Fournette in the lineup, Hyde ran for a loss of one on first down. A pair of penalties and a sack turned a first-and-goal situation from the one-yard line into a 4th-and-goal opportunity from the Buffalo 24.

And then Josh Lambo missed a 42-yard field goal attempt.

The final count on the fight? A whole bunch of flags, two ejections, and zero points scored after a play originally ruled a touchdown on the field.

The Bills drove 68 yards in three plays after Lambo’s miss to take a 21-14 lead in the fourth quarter. Things didn’t get better for the Jaguars from there.
