Tempers flared during Week 6’s Sunday Night Football as the Giants and Bills began to brawl late into the third quarter.
After Latavius Murray picked up a first down, players on both sides were tangled up and began shoving one another, which quickly escalated further in what turned into a wild scene at Highmark Stadium.
Multiple players were involved in the heated exchange, for which there were a total of four penalties called, all of which offset.
The Giants were looking to get into the end zone and pad their 6–0 lead just before halftime against the Bills on Sunday night, but a highly questionable play call resulted in the clock expiring with the ball on the one-yard line.
With no timeouts left, quarterback Tyrod Taylor bizarrely handed the ball to Saquon Barkley on first and goal with just 14 seconds left on the game clock on what appeared to be an option play.
Head coach Brian Daboll appeared both irate and confused on the sideline, which suggests the handoff to Barkley was not the play he was anticipating.
Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone surely enjoyed Detroit’s 20–6 victory over the Buccaneers in Week 6. But the seven-year pro had much more to be happy about than winning a football game on Sunday. He got to share the moment with his parents, whose safety he was worried about throughout the week.
Anzalone’s parents were in Israel last week as part of a church tour group when attacks by terrorist group Hamas ignited war in the region. Sal and Judy Anzalone were among the 53 Americans trapped after the conflict erupted.
A frightening scene unfolded during Week 6’s Giants–Bills game on Sunday Night Football after Buffalo running back Damien Harris sustained a neck injury in the second quarter.
With the Bills facing third-and-1 at the 3:32 mark, Harris took his first carry of the game for one yard before being met head-on by Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke, who drove him to the ground. The chilling collision resulted in a stoppage of play as a motionless Harris lay on the turf, prompting the Bills’ medical staff to rush to his aid.
Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris went down with an apparent injury in the second quarter, requiring a spineboard stretcher and an ambulance to take him off the field at Highmark Stadium.
Harris provided an encouraging sign before departing the field, giving a thumbs up as players prayed and fans from both teams quietly waited for a response on the field.
Harris went down on a routine tackle from New York Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke. An in-game report from NBC said the Bills runner suffered a neck injury.

Justin Pugh was a first-round pick for the New York Giants before heading to Arizona for a stint with the Cardinals. He’s been out of the league for a year, and he’s on a mission to start again.
Now that Big Blue’s offensive line is down to scraps and no-names, the Giants reached out to Pugh, who entered 2023 as a free agent. Both sides came to an agreement. And boy, it’s good to be back!
Ask Pugh and he’s over the moon to be back in New York. During Sunday night’s introductions between the Giants and Buffalo Bills, Pugh gave a thrilled life update in his first game back.
