Bills and Dolphins aren’t in the holiday spirit and fight on the sideline instead

The Bills and Dolphins haven’t gotten along in the 2016 season.

Holiday spirit doesn’t always match up with the intensity of a division rivalry — and the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins certainly haven’t been friendly in the past.

After Dan Carpenter made a tackle on the sideline, he had some words for the Dolphins, sparking a scrap between the two teams.

Buffalo was already frustrated after the Dolphins appeared to get away with a pass interference penalty in the end zone, forcing the Bills to settle for a 28-yard field goal from Carpenter to cut the Dolphins’ lead to 28-24.

The Dolphins and Bills have a rough history in 2016, with some bad blood dating back to the team’s October matchup. Miami came out on top 28-25, but not before Jarvis Landry drew attention for a cheap shot on Aaron Williams, and former Dolphin Richie Incognito threw the helmet of Andre Branch.

Buffalo needs a lot to go its way to make the playoffs, while the Dolphins just need to find a win or two.
