The Buffalo Bills-New York Jets rivalry could reach a new level of nasty in 2024, thanks to Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins, who lashed out against the Jets and defensive end Micheal Clemons in an interview that dropped last week.

 

Dawkins, appearing on VladTV, called Clemons a "b---- boy" and accused him of instigating their postgame scuffle in the tunnel at Highmark Stadium last Nov. 19 after the Bills' 32-6 victory. "Weirdos being weird," Dawkins said, when asked directly about the fracas.

 

Speaking of the Jets, he said, "I hate them, all of them, bro. ... When it comes to sports, there are 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 just want to take pictures on Instagram. That's whack."

 

Dawkins did identify defensive tackle Quinnen Williams as "valid" and said, "I like him." "The rest of them, don't care, don't like them," he said.

 

Dawkins said Clemons, during a TV timeout early in the fourth quarter, was trash-talking quarterback Josh Allen.

 

"First of all, why are you talking to my quarterback? Don't talk to my quarterback," Dawkins said. "Stay over there. Don't say nothing to none of my guys. Just stay over there, son. Don't talk to 17. I'm really serious about that. Don't talk to him. Don't say nothing to him at all, right?"

 

After that, Clemons pointed to several individual players on the Bills, called out their number and cursed them out, according to Dawkins, who was infuriated.

 

"He went down the whole team, everybody on the field, pointing at us and just yapping his beat," he said. "What am I supposed to do? I'm the OG. I've been on this line for the longest. I'm the one that's going to punch you in your face."

 

Dawkins said he warned Clemons, "Remember what you said, son."

 

One play later, the Bills ran a running play in which Dawkins pulled to Clemons' side. They met, head-to-head, with Dawkins knocking him down. Claiming he didn't hear a whistle, Dawkins jumped on Clemons with what he described as a "belly flop." They both got up and Clemons shoved him to the ground. It resulted in an unnecessary-roughness penalty for Dawkins and an eventual fine.

 

"When it comes to sports, there are 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 just want to take pictures on Instagram. That's whack." Dion Dawkins, on the Jetsnone

It made for a chippy fourth quarter, setting the stage for the postgame altercation. Dawkins said Clemons followed him up the tunnel but was afraid to challenge him face-to-face.

 

"If you're going to run up on somebody, run all the way up on somebody," Dawkins said. "Don't run up and stop five yards behind and just start talking. So, when he did that, I'm like, 'First of all, you really don't want to fight me. You're really a bitch.'"

 

No punches were thrown, but Dawkins admitted that he pushed Clemons during the skirmish. They were separated by players.

 

Clemons never commented about the incident. On Monday, Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner responded to an X post of a video clip from Dawkins' interview with VladTV.

 

"I play this game because I love it and it takes care of my family," Gardner said on X. "It also gives me a platform to inspire the youth. I have no 'NFL beef' with anybody. I didn't know that was a thing til I just watched this video."

 

The Jets and Bills split the season series, with the Jets taking the season opener in overtime. In that game, they lost quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a season-ending Achilles tear on a sack by Leonard Floyd.

This team is full of losers. Down four touchdowns talking sh*t. Giving up two seasons in a row. I’m all for public humiliation at this point.

Woody fired the great Pete Carroll and even Eric Mangini for much less than this. 

The team is a clown show and needs to be fixed.  

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

 

Goes on a show shirtless to talk sh*t and yeah, Jets are the ones that are about social media. 

[Adoni Beast]

Dawkins is absolutely right, but he needs a shirt to cover them sausage titties for real.

I do appreciate that he stands up for his QB too. Our guys would probably be just talking sh*t from the bench if someone came after our QB. 

Until proven otherwise we are a pathetic team focused on media attention and appearance than actually dedicated to winning.

[faba]

Yeah less talk when you are being humiliated on the field let your play do the talking

[Larz]

That’s the guy that got in a fight with Clemons 

he can eabod

[Larz]

Move to the TMZ forum 

[St Louie Jet Fan]

I know its a new generation of players but, I guess Im Old School. I like that he hates the Jets. I hope the Jets hate the bills. Dont like players congratulating the other team after a loss. Dont care if these guys like each other. Win the F'ing game or shut your mouth.

LOL!  This guy is such a clown.  For as much as I disliked Gase, at least threw himself 100% into the job.  Saleh is a guy who doesn't seem like he can bothered.

Huh?!?!?!?!?!?!

JN told me that all that was just “negative” fans overreacting. 
 

Saleh golf > combine 

[Darnold's Forehead]

I don't need a moron to tell me what I already know about the Jets.

[FidelioJet]

He is correct.

[jeremy2020]

"The bullsh*t that has nothing to do with winning needs to get out of the building. That would be the focus moving forward"

"Flush the bullsh*t"

[THE BARON]

Let the games begin.  I don't care about sticking to no-nonsense professionalism so long as they are winning at the same time they are acting like jerks.  It's more entertaining that way.  Keep the trash talk at maximum. 

[dbatesman]

Almost certainly some truth to this, but also the Bills go out like Stan Chera every January, so Dawkins can go screw

[#27TheDominator]

Did he really say "that's whack?"  I don't think he will resonate with the demographic they are looking to reach.

look at dem titties. holy crap dude.

[GangGreened]

Sounds like a Saleh coached team honestly. He be embarrassing those QBs and still losing.

[GreenFish]

He doesnt like the Jets and Clemons got under his skin. This just says he is still bitter about what Clemons said to him.

[Rochester Jets]

Whatever.  I hope Rodgers is healthy all season so we can beat Buffalo twice and end their playoff streak.  

[static14]

The Jets do stink, but put a shirt on over those tatted moobs. No one wants to see that outside of their own gazebo.

Wish I could "unsee" that.

And here I thought "man boobs" Mangini was bad...

[83Kelly2Allen18]

Dawkins needs to focus less on everyone else and more on holding his block longer vs the chiefs and not collectively embarrassing themselves being 5-5 and 6-6 at one point. 

Allen needs to cut his int in half. The jets dline whooped him opening night and Allen looked like he did meth all night.

 

It why I think the jets can win the division with Rodgers 

 

[Dunnie]

LOL!  This guy is such a clown.  For as much as I disliked Gase, at least threw himself 100% into the job.  Saleh is a guy who doesn't seem like he can bothered.

Saleh had his list of 500 inspiring quips ... It wasn't until he was down to 325 left that the sweat started to erupt from his brow.

Wut?  Woody didn't own the team when Pete Caroll was here and fired.  That was Leon Hess.

Mind you, he starts the convo saying "weirdos being weird" referring to the Jets....is there anything more weird then doing an interview, shirtless when you're a disgusting fat ****?

Not really. 

But Jets Fans siding with big mouthed Bills players and against the Jets is no shock, honestly.

Do we have some "focus of attention" problem players, sure.  So does every team these days.  Welcome to 2024, where an entire generation only cares about being on IG or Ticktock or X or the like. 

In no way would I label our Defense as being "only concerned with IG pics" on the whole.

[nj meadowlands]

If you don't agree with Dawkins and pile on the Jets, are you really #edgy enough to post here?

[Integrity28]

Man, this is damning.
