Oct 2 (The Sports Xchange) - The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots started their hostilities about 45 minutes before Sunday's kickoff when a melee broke out between the two teams on the New England sideline.
New England rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who was set to make his second NFL start despite a right thumb injury, was jogging, just around midfield. He was confronted and shoved by Buffalo safety Robert Blanton. Patriots rookie wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell stepped in, as did other Bills -- as Brissett kept going.
