Full Transcript
Following the Buffalo Bills' Week 13 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, several players, including wide receiver Gabe Davis and defensive end A.J. Epenesa, were fined for their actions during the game.
According to Buffalo Rumblings, Davis was fined $6,500 for unnecessary roughness due to a helmet-to-helmet hit in the second quarter. Epenesa faced a stiffer penalty of $11,593 for unsportsmanlike conduct, specifically for taunting, after knocking the ball out of wide receiver DK Metcalf's hands in the third quarter.
In contrast, other incidents during the game did not result in fines, including an unpenalized hit on quarterback Josh Allen by linebacker Patrick Queen, which many viewers criticized. Additionally, Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward, who had an altercation with Allen during the game, was also fined $11,593 for taunting, marking his first fine since 2015 for a uniform violation.
Despite these fines, both teams are reportedly moving on, with players focusing on upcoming games, as highlighted by comments from Heyward and Allen. This situation raises questions about player conduct and its potential impact on team dynamics as the Bills look to maintain their momentum heading into crucial matchups.
