NFL fans think the Buffalo Bills made a controversial decision on the playing status of star defensive player Von Miller. Miller turned himself in after he was issued an arrest warrant for an alleged assault charge.
The alleged victim claimed last week that the alleged assault didn’t happen. However, Per NBC 5, detectives investigating the victim’s earlier 911 call noticed “abrasions” and “bruising” on the pregnant woman’s body:
“Detectives responding to the call said they saw minor abrasions on the woman’s left hand and bruising on her neck, injuries they said were consistent with applied pressure. Bruising was also found on the woman’s abdomen and left bicep.”
With that situation ongoing, it was unclear if the Bills would allow Von Miller to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. According to Ian Rapoport with the NFL Network, Bills general manager Brandon Beane said he doesn’t expect the NFL to place Miller on the commissioner’s exempt list and will be available to play on Sunday.
Per Heather Prusak with CBS, Beane said the Bills would follow the lead of the league on how to handle Miller’s eligibility:
“We’re not investigators, we weren’t present so you have to let all that stuff play out and follow the lead of the NFL.”

Another reason Bills are given special treatment, seems like they dont hold their players to a moral standard, unlike Texans, Chiefs and other teams.

If Von Miller was on the Patriots the commisioner would have already shut down the entire league to investigate.
