Dion Dawkins and A’Shawn Robinson had a difference of opinion following the Buffalo Bills’ 40-9 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and it almost led to a brawl between the offensive tackle and defensive lineman.
A video showed Dawkins talking with Panthers players post-game when Robinson approached him. After a brief back-and-forth, Robinson takes his helmet off and some pushing ensues between the two players.
After the duo gets separated, Dawkins can be seen throwing his hat at Robinson. Both players attempted to get away from their peers, but Panthers star Derrick Brown was able to corral Robinson while Dawkins was pulled away by Bills personnel.
The full video of the scuffle, courtesy of Kimberley Martin and ESPN, can be seen below.
When asked by Martin about what caused the incident, Dawkins pointed to the scoreboard and said, “40-9.”
Post-game, Dawkins did not reference the scuffle on social media. He referenced the atmosphere at Bank of America Stadium, stating it felt like a home game for the Bills.
Robinson has not commented on the incident on social media, but it was a frustrating day for the Panthers’ defensive line. The unit was pushed around by Dawkins and Buffalo’s offensive line, resulting in a big day on the ground for running back James Cook.
Cook rushed for 216 yards and two touchdowns on 19 attempts (11.4 YPC). It was the best rushing performance of the season, to date. The Panthers allowed four total touchdowns on the ground in the loss, including two tush push rushing touchdowns for quarterback Josh Allen.
