Bills Carry Defensive Coordinator Jim Schwartz Off Field After Win at Detroit

Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz made his first return to Ford Field on Sunday since the Detroit Lions fired him last year after five seasons as head coach. Based on what happened after the game, it seems as though the Bills were happy to get their defensive coordinator a victory against his former team.

After the 17-14 victory over Detroit, Bills players carried Schwartz off the field on their shoulders.

Update from Tuesday, Oct. 7

Lions receiver Golden Tate—who did not play for Scwartz in Detroit—wasn't a fan of the Bills carrying their defensive coordinator off the field on their shoulders.

Keep in mind that this happened during Week 5 of the regular season, not the Super Bowl.

This was apparently something requested by Schwartz.
