Bills players claim Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. took swings at them during Sunday's 24-10 New York win, according to The Buffalo News.
"Several in the locker room" claim Beckham threw multiple punches, including one at Preston Brown, causing the Buffalo linebacker to retaliate after a play late in the fourth quarter, though we can't see much there.

Three snaps later, as Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore returned an interception, Beckham allegedly swung at safety Duke Williams. That one's pretty clear.
Gilmore matched Beckham on many snaps during the game, and he had the most to say about OBJ.
"I don’t know what’s up with him," Gilmore told The Buffalo News. "He acts like . . . you’re supposed to let him catch the ball. He’s weird. He gets mad when you play physical with him. He’s weird.
"He’s different. It’s kind of like you're playing your little brother and he gets mad at you for being too physical with him — throwing a tantrum. I’m like, ‘Man, we’re playing football. It’s a physical game.' … He's a prima donna. He feels like he’s on top of the world and nobody’s supposed to do anything to him."
Brown had two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties called on him in just over two minutes in the fourth.
"They were doing everything in the book they could to try to get a free 15 (yards)," Brown said. "They would say anything they thought would rile us up. Words usually don’t do anything, but when they start swinging at you — they did that a lot. They were throwing a lot of cheap shots."
The players hinted that Beckham can't be touched because of his status in the league.
"That’s what he does. He'll get away with it," Brown said. "He’s the 'golden boy' of the league. He’s on the cover of Madden. Sometimes, you get away with stuff like that."
