The heat wasn’t the only thing rising in the NFL yesterday. Tempers flared during multiple training camp practices. Bills Quarterback Josh Allen and Defensive Tackle Jordan Phillips got into a scuffle after a play. Allen attempted to rush up the middle during a two-point conversion when Phillips accidentally bumped him. According to the New York Post, Allen went to walk away but proceeded to turn around and shove Phillips. Not touching the Quarterback during training camp is the No.1 rule.
