BUFFALO, N.Y. — The NFL on Tuesday suspended Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Bobby Hart for one game after the league said he took a swing at a Titans player following Monday night's game but instead hit a Tennessee coach.
Per the league's release announcing the suspension for violating unsportsmanlike conduct rules, Hart's actions came at the conclusion of the Bills' 41-7 victory.
Neither the Titans player whom Hart took a swing at nor the coach hit by Hart were identified by the NFL. In a letter to Hart, NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan wrote, «As both teams were heading to the tunnel, you walked directly across the field to seek out your opponent.
You approached him near the end zone and a coach had to hold you back as others shook hands. »Once you and your opponent were in the end zone near the tunnel, you confronted him and immediately swung at him with a closed fist, striking the head of a Tennessee coach.
