The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins got into a little skirmish in their playoff game on Sunday.
After Josh Allen threw an interception, he and Christian Wilkins got into it on the field. Then, a brawl ensued.
Bleacher Report shows what happened between Josh Allen and Christian Wilkins. You can see the Dolphins give a little chipshot that was completely unnecessary. Then Allen reacts and shoves him back. After several shoves from both guys, some of the Bills’ offensive linemen entered the chat.

Apparently, Allen and Wilkins have a history with each other. They’ve gone back and forth on the field before this incident. In fact, the Bills quarterback openly spoke about it during an appearance on Kyle Brandt’s Basement. Here’s what he had to say back in September.

Additionally, this is a playoff game between divisional rivals. So emotions are extremely high. However, Christian Wilkins’ actions were uncalled for, as Allen was far away from the play after the interception. After sticking up for himself, Allen calmly walked away as his teammates took over. Even so, the Bills and Dolphins are lucky to avoid any serious penalties that could have been called.
We’ll see how this game plays out, as Miami is surprisingly staying in it. Look for the second half to be intense as the Bills aim to win its first Super Bowl in franchise history.
