After the game, Ngakoue said: "He knows what he said. I don't have to repeat it.

"I've been playing this game since I was a little kid. You hear all types of stuff. Stuff's not going to bother you, but somebody says something about your ethnicity, that's really kind of taking it a little bit too far.

"I'm all with trash talk. It's part of the game, but you can't say certain things."

Incognito has been with the Bills since 2015, having taken a year out of the game in 2014 following a suspension for bullying Miami Dolphins team-mate Jonathan Martin.
