The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets have been superior for a long time, so it’s difficult to call this game a true divisional rivalry.
Although the Jets’ disappointing third-place performance in 2023 was still their best since 2019, it was a long cry from expectations when quarterback Aaron Rodgers initially came to town. Buffalo had won the AFC East for four straight years.
When the New York Jets shocked the Bills in Week 1 of the season, Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon. He will return to rekindle Gang Green’s dreams of unseating Buffalo in 2024.
Though Buffalo offensive tackle Dion Dawkins didn’t hold back when it came to his views toward their divisional rival, the Buffalo Bills and Jets split their season series in 2023.
Dawkins, who got into a brawl with fans after Buffalo’s November game against the Jets, elaborated on his deep-seated animosity for the team.
OT with the Buffalo Bills, Dion Dawkins, lashes out against the New York Jets in a furious tirade.
If there’s ever a hate fest between the Bills and Jets, there are decades of history to draw on.
Dawkins stated in a recent interview that he despises the entire squad before listing a few players and staff members that he gets along with.
“I detest them.” In a shirtless interview on VladTV last week, Dawkins stated, “All of them, bro.” Indeed, when it comes to sports, some people play them because they are passionate about them, while others merely do them to fit in. They seem to play the sport in an attempt to appear cool. Those guys are merely interested in taking photos for Instagram, that’s all. That is absurd.
Three-time Pro Bowler Dawkins has faced Gang Green with Buffalo during each of his seven NFL seasons. He draws motivation from the team’s victory over the New York Jets, 32–6, in Week 11 of that series.
He singled out Michal Clemons, the defensive end.
“Weirdos are acting strange.” When asked what occurred to generate a scene in the tunnel at the conclusion of the competition, Dawkins gave an explanation. “I want to talk about the man without even giving him credit. However, 72. Clemons Michael. B—— boy.
In the second half, the Jets defensive end reportedly approached Buffalo’s sideline and started pointing and yelling profanities at many players, according to Dion Dawkins.
Dawkins instinctively drew the line at going after his quarterback, Josh Allen, as he protected his blindside.
Why are you speaking with my quarterback, first of all? Dawkins responded, “Don’t talk to my quarterback.” “Remain over there. Don’t keep quiet around any of my guys. Son, just stay over there. Avoid conversing with 17. I mean it when I say that. Avoid conversing with him. Don’t say anything at all to him, am I correct?
Dawkins expressed his displeasure three minutes into the fourth quarter by forcing Clemons to the ground and then, in his own words, “belly flopping” on his opponent.
Due to unwarranted violence during the play, Dion Dawkins would ultimately receive a punishment. This led to a tense fourth quarter, which required teammates to separate the two in the tunnel after the game.
Dawkins, a big man for the Buffalo Bills, still obviously feels the sting from the incident, though he spared the wrath of the New York Jets’ two-time Pro Bowl defensive end, Quinnen Williams.
“Well done, Quinten Williams. Along with expressing his regard for Ryan Davis, the defensive assistant with the Jets, and former head coach Todd Bowles, Dawkins remarked, “I respect the dude.”
“How about the others? Feel indifferent. “I dislike you,” he continued.
With Rodgers at the centre, the Jets should be competitive going into the 2024 season, which provides for some incredible drama.
Clomons, whose contract expires in 2025, ought to come back as well.
The next time Dawkins and the Jets play, those two and the rest of the team will definitely greet him with open arms.
