Several Bills players and at least one Patriot were involve in a pregame scuffle on Sunday.

The incident occurred as Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett was jogging near his team’s sideline. Bills safety Robert Blanton pushed Brissett and New England receiver Malcolm Mitchell retaliated by shoving Blanton. Several Bills players and coaches from both teams then joined the fray.

As ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio points out, unsportsmanlike conduct penalties handed out as a result of the incident would count toward the two-per-player limit. Under a new NFL rule this season, players are ejected after receiving their second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty of the game.
