The incident occurred after a skirmish that took place on the field. In the second half, Dawkins took down Clemons and finished him off with a pancake tackle. Clemons took offense to the play, got up and tackled Dawkins.
The offensive lineman then embellished the situation by lying on the ground. He stood up and waved toward the bench. Dawkins was penalized for unnecessary roughness.

Buffalo won the game 32-6, but the war of words continued after the tunnel incident.
“I’m a humble guy,” Dawkins said, via Syracuse.com. “I’m not a fan, man. I’m not a Jets fan. Very disrespectful players. It is what it is, and when we were able to run, pass and beat a team like that, great. Thumbs up.”
