Some members of the Buffalo Bills still are not happy about a block by Jarvis Landy during Friday’s preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.
Landry, who is known as a physical receiver, lit up Bills CB Taron Johnson with a huge block on a rushing play during the game.

Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander stuck up for Johnson on Sunday and said that Landry’s block was “dirty.”

Micah Hyde called it “ridiculous.” Like Alexander, he also referenced Landry’s 2016 block on former Bill Aaron Williams, which essentially ended Williams’ career.
