Detroit Lions' Austin Bryant: 'No excuse' for costly roughing the passer penalty

Detroit Lions defensive end Austin Bryant said he did not realize Josh Allen had thrown the ball when he whipped the Buffalo Bills quarterback to the ground late in the fourth quarter of Buffalo's 28-25 come-from-behind victory Thursday, but Bryant said that's no excuse for the roughing the passer penalty he incurred on the play.

"I definitely take full ownership for that penalty," Bryant told the Free Press after the game. "There’s no excuse, no matter if I seen him throw it or not. Just got to be better, have my head up on it.
