The Buffalo Bills, at least by their preseason actions, are making sure the rivalry between them and the New England Patriots isn't one-sided.
Just moments after entering the field in uniform, the Bills defensive backs -- most notably safeties Robert Blanton and Aaron Williams -- started a pre-game scuffle with quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell.
Here is a full social media replay of the event:

Aaron Williams/the #Bills DBs came out from the tunnel angry. Williams barked back at a fan razzing him. 1-2 minutes before the scuffle. pic.twitter.com/6y3bE9oR5j

Being down on the field, #Bills safety Aaron Williams was screaming up and down the sidelines, dancing around well after the scuffle.

Kraft: "I think if you are less-than-disciplined in your personal approach, your team takes on the attitude of the coach..." (1/2)

Kraft: "...My guess is Rex probably loves that. That's why Rex is Rex. And that's why Bill is Bill." (2/2)
