Jessie Pegula, an American Olympic tennis star who is the daughter of the owners of the Buffalo Bills, defended the players involved in a heated moment following their loss Monday night.
Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer gave a terse response to a question from WIVB-TV reporter and Niagara Gazette sports columnist Jerry Sullivan. Hyde and Poyer were asked whether they were "embarrassed" after allowing 222 rushing yards to the New England Patriots in the 14-10 loss.

After it was revealed Sullivan was the one who asked the question, Pegula said she wasn’t surprised.
"Lol makes sense now that I know who asked the questions," she wrote.
Pegula is the daughter of Terry and Kim Pegula, who bought the franchise 2014.
Poyer and Hyde immediately swatted the question.

"I mean what kind of question is that?" Poyer said as Hyde replied: "Bro, what are we doing?"
"We made stops when we had to. They had one big run. I mean they got good [running backs]," Poyer said. "I mean I don’t know how you want us to answer that question."
Silence filled the room before Hyde said: "That’s funny, we’ll remember that."
As both safeties got up to leave the room, Hyde referenced the question again, seemingly taking offense.
"It’s all about respect. I come here every single week and I answer your questions truthfully, honestly," he said. "I appreciate you guys, don’t do that."
Hyde told reporters Wednesday said he respects the work of the media but felt the question crossed the line.

"I’m never gonna attack you guys. My mom taught me better; my hometown taught me better. ... I really do appreciate you guys. I know your guys’ role in this whole situation. You guys are trying to get your job done and feed your family, just like I am. When it comes down to it, we all gotta respect each other, and that’s all I care about in this situation," he said, via Syracuse.com.
