Bills edge defender Shaq Lawson apparently has a beef with Broncos center Connor McGovern. After Buffalo defeated Denver 20-3 in Week 12, the defensive end found the offensive lineman on the field and had some choice words for him.
Lawson seemed to indicate that McGovern had said he had never heard of the defender before the game. Lawson then had a two-sack performance against the Broncos’ offensive line.
“You remember my name, I got two sacks on [you],” Lawson said after the game. “I got two sacks on [you]. You remember me now. That’s all I wanted to say to him. No cap.”
Bills center Mitch Morse came between the two players to prevent the situation from escalating. One of Lawson’s sacks came against McGovern and the other came against rookie guard Dalton Risner.
McGovern (6-4, 306 pounds) was selected by Denver in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL draft out of Missouri. He has been a reliable offensive lineman for the Broncos, allowing just four sacks in 42 games.
Lawson (6-3, 267 pounds) was selected by Buffalo in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft out of Clemson. At worst, he’s a bust. At best, he’s a late bloomer. He has just 15 sacks in his career, including a career-high five sacks this season.
Shaq Lawson went OFF on Denver OL Connor McGovern on the field after the game. Shaq said McGovern told him he'd never heard of him. Shaq responded with two sacks.

The Broncos are scheduled to play the Bills again in 2020.
