Coach Doug Marrone has spoken to Hughes this week about keeping his emotions in check.
Hughes faces a potential fine from the NFL. And he was immediately disciplined by the team following the penalty, when he was benched for much of the second half by defensive line coach Pepper Johnson.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Vowing he's learned his lesson,NFL Jerseys China, Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes intends to keep his mouth shut and walk away from NFL officials the next time he disagrees with a call.
"I've learned from my mistakes,Wholesale NFL Jerseys," he said. "You've got to walk away."
"Gosh, I'm not going to think about anything like that," Hughes said. "We still have three more games left. That's really been the whole focus, and not really to think too far into the future."
Marrone was unaware of Hughes being benched, saying he was not informed by his staff during the game. He didn't find out until the team departed Denver.
"I think Jerry's an outstanding football player that plays with a lot of emotion who has to learn that he needs to control them at times," Marrone said.
"That's just a boneheaded play by me," Hughes said following practice Thursday. "It just can't happen."

"It extended their drive. You've got a Hall of Fame quarterback on the road. You just don't do things like that,Wholesale Hockey Jerseys 2018," Hughes said. "That's just not smart football."
