On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills’ comeback attempt against the Miami Dolphins came down to the last play of the game, but time had already passed.
With just a few seconds left with the score 21-19, quarterback Josh Allen connected with wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie on a crossing pattern to go as close to the goal as possible.
The Dolphins defense was able to stop McKenzie’s attempt to get to the sidelines.
In an effort to spike the ball, stop the time, and set up a possible game-winning kick, the Bills sprinted to the goal line. Buffalo, though, was unlucky since the time ran out before they could snap the ball.
Ken Dorsey, the offensive coordinator for the Bills, banged his headphones in irritation as he watched and then vented his anger on his iPad.
Fans found the emotional moment to be intriguing to see since it revealed how high tensions are in the NFL in a startlingly open way.
The Bills may potentially end up paying a price for the incident, and if they do, Tom Brady will be to blame.
Teams in the NFL were told last week not to destroy iPads in the aftermath of Tom Brady’s most recent outburst, according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports.
We all received the Tom Brady message this week, one GM stated, according to Glazer. “The Tom Brady memo, what is it?
We were all informed that there would be consequences and substantial fines if any of our players broke or smashed anything provided by the league.”
The message was sent after Brady vented his anger on a tablet while watching the Buccaneers play the New Orleans Saints last weekend.
Following his outburst, Brady and the Buccaneers recovered to upset the Saints 20-10. Brady playfully apologized for smashing the iPad after the game.
The likelihood is that Dorsey’s outburst would have been treated as just another instance of frustration in a day full of them following the Bills’ first defeat of the year if it had occurred any other week.
But given that the NFL reportedly specifically instructed teams to be more relaxed about destroying tablets on television just this past week, it’s possible the Bills will experience some fallout in the days to come.
