Safety Aaron Williams was also fined but wouldn\u2019t disclose the amount, reportedly telling Wawrow, \u201cIt\u2019s up there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before the game on Sunday at Gillette Stadium, Patriots rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, jogged down the sideline. The Bills yelled at the players that they were allegedly interrupting the Bills pre-game drill. \u00a0On their way back down the sideline, Blanton ran over from the middle of the field and shoved Brissett. Mitchell jumped in, in defense of the quarterback.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">WHOA.

President Jonathan Kraft, took exception to the incident and pointed the finger directly at Bills coach Rex Ryan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat gets back to Rex,\u201d Kraft said. \u201cI think if you are less
