Jets, Bills have ugly shoving match with lights out at MetLife Stadium

Old beef was renewed Monday night.

Bills tackle Dion Dawkins needed to be separated from his Jets opponents during the two teams’ clash Monday night at MetLife Stadium.

Dawkins barked at the Jets and was subsequently flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

The lights at MetLife Stadium were dimmed at the time, adding to the drama.

Superstar Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams appeared to need to be held back from then going at Dawkins.

Last year, Dawkins and Jets defensive end Micheal Clemons got into a shoving match in the tunnel after the Jets’ 32-6 loss to the Bills on Nov. 19, 2023.

Dawkins after that game said the Jets are “very disrespectful players.”

Over the offseason, Dawkins called Clemons a “bitch boy.”

“Weirdos being weird. I don’t want to even give the man no credit talking about him, No. 72, Michael Clemons, bitch boy, bitch boy,” Dawkins previosuly said. “I hate them. All of them.

“When it comes to sports, there’s people that play the sport because they love the sport. And then there’s people that play the sport just to try to be cool. I feel like they play the sport to try to be cool. Those are a bunch of dudes that want to take pictures on Instagram. That’s whack. I play this because I die by this.”
