WATCH: Shaq Lawson mixes it up with Broncs OL postgame

Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson had a big day against the Denver Broncos. 

Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson had a big day against the Denver Broncos.

Buffalo’s Week 12 20-3 win came with two sacks from Lawson. That brought him to a singe-season career-high five sacks this season. He’s reached four twice.

Emotions were running high for Lawson and that spilled over into the postgame festivities. While players met for handshakes on the middle of the turf at New Era Field, Lawson approached Denver’s Connor McGovern.

WROC-TV caught the action. Lawson used some expletives in the exchange, but also told McGovern, “you remember me now, that’s all I wanted to say to him.” Buffalo’s starting center Mitch Morse, who was injured in the game, separated the two.

Of Lawson’s two sacks, one of them came on a missed assignment by McGovern, the team’s starting center:

Lawson is clearly an emotional player, but if those emotions are getting him stats, the Bills will take that.

Bills vs. Broncos: Wednesday injury reports

Injury reports for both the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos ahead of their Week 12 meeting at New Era Field.

The Bills will do battle with the Denver Broncos at New Era Field in Week 12.

Here are early injury reports from Wednesday for both teams ahead of the meeting:

Denver Broncos (3-7)

Did not practice

  • OL Dalton Risner (ankle)
  • C Connor McGovern (back)
  • OL Ron Leary (shoulder/ neck)
  • LB Joe Jones (foot)
  • LB Justin Hollins (hamstring)
  • WR Tim Patrick (shoulder)

Limited

  • OL Ja’Wuan James (knee)
  • TE Jeff Heuerman (knee)

Notes:

Dalton Risner, Connor McGovern and Ron Leary are all starters on the Broncos’ offensive line. … Tim Patrick returned from injury last week and could be sitting out as a precaution. … Ja’Wuan James started at right tackle last week for the Broncos, but Denver head coach Vic Fangio said on Wednesday “it could be this week or next week.”

Buffalo Bills (7-3)

Did not practice

  • OL Ty Nsekhe (ankle)
  • S Siran Neal (concussion)
  • DE Jerry Hughes (groin)

Notes:

Buffalo head coach Sean McDermot labeled Ty Nsekhe as “week-to-week” so he’s unlikely to play vs. the Broncos and rookie Cody Ford would start in his place. … Jerry Hughes played in Week 11 vs. the Dolphins despite being questionable with the same groin injury heading into the game. … Siran Neal exited Buffalo’s Week 11 game.
