| Bills WR Stevie Johnson Benched Vs Patriots For T-Shirt Penalty | | | Bills receiver Stevie Johnson isn’t the first person to get a little carried away ringing in the new year. He just picked the wrong place for his celebration. Bills coach Chan Gailey benched Johnson for drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Sunday when he celebrated a touchdown catch by lifting his jersey to reveal an undershirt that said, “Happy New Year!” The Bills added another TD before New England scored the next 49 points to win 49-21. “The coach told me I was out of the game. I have to respect his decision,” said Johnson, who had four catches for 40 yards to become the first Bills receiver with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. “I can’t complain about it or whine or pout. He made his decision and I am going with it. ... I have to take that, and I will.” Source: Associated Press
