The Buffalo Bills locked arms, knelt, and did other things before Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos in response to President Donald Trump’s Friday comments arguing that NFL owners should fire players who protest the national anthem. The Bills held an optional meeting Saturday night for players to share their concerns with team officials.
After the game, players and head coach Sean McDermott were asked about the protest. Here are their responses.
