Tyrod Taylor angrily walks out of press conference

Buffalo Bills v Oakland Raiders

The frustration boiled over for Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor during a recent press conference.

Taylor, who is usually fairly calm, must have been feeling the pressure of having a must-win game against the Steelers on Sunday. Furthermore, there’s been some scrutiny about whether or not he should be the team’s quarterback next season.

That seemed to play a part of how he answered reporters’ questions during his most recent talk with the media, when he was asked about whether or not the team was still in the playoff hunt.

“I don’t have Instagram on my phone. Twitter. Don’t watch TV, so don’t see it, don’t hear it,” he said, according to Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News. “Continue to keep pounding away. We’re still in it, last time I checked.”

“I’ve taken everything that y’all have stood up here and asked me right on the chest,” he said. “It doesn’t affect me emotionally or physically. I take it every week, so whatever y’all want to blame, I’ll take that. Like I said, my job is to get the team into a position where we can win on Sundays. Can I be better, yes. But it doesn’t just take me, it’s a collective effort out there on the field each and every Sunday.”

Then, toward the end of the press conference, he announced “I’m done talking.” And then stormed out.
