Bills Lawn of Bills' McKelvin trashed in wake of loss

Buffalo Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin, who fumbled a late kickoff return that led directly to the Bills' 25-24 loss to New England Monday night, found the front lawn of his home vandalized Tuesday, Hamburg police confirmed to The Buffalo News.

Police were investigating the vandalism at McKelvin's home in the upscale Briercliff Estates subdivision off Amsdell Road but declined to say anything more about the incident.

The vandalism apparently consisted of the score — 25-24 — and a graphic depiction of the male anatomy scrawled in white paint on McKelvin's front lawn.

The incident led Bills players to express concern over their privacy and safety on Tuesday.

Kawika Mitchell, linebacker for the Bills, referred to the incident in a post on his Twitter page Tuesday, although he did not specifically reveal whose house it was. Mitchell said such behavior crosses a line.

"Its def not a game to b playin," Mitchell wrote. "W/ all the safety issues n the NFL its not funny at all. We have Fam at our homes to protect. If u show ur face on my prop Ill make sure I do everythin to keep my Fam safe."

He went on to warn fans not to "push the limit."

"So dont come around thinkin, oh we'll just leave a message on his lawn or wall, b/c Im goin to take it as a threat. Its my job to protect my home as it is the job of all home owners."

McKelvin fumbled a kickoff return with under two minutes to play and the Bills leading, 24-19. Three plays later, New England's Tom Brady hit Benjamin Watson for the go-ahead touchdown as the Patriots overcame an 11-point deficit in the final 2:06.

The Bills did not comment on the incident, calling it "a police matter." A message left on a phone listed to McKelvin was not returned.

It's not clear if there was anyone at home at the time the vandalism occurred.

Bills players had the day off before returning to practice Wednesday to prepare to host Tampa Bay this weekend.

Bills safety George Wilson was shocked upon learning the news earlier in the day.

"To see that type of response from so-called passionate fans is taking things to the extreme," said Wilson, who is the team's union representative. "You can blog and make your opinions, but to go to a person's residence, you're taking it to a whole new level."

McKelvin, selected in the first round of the 2008 draft out of Troy, set a team record and ranked second in the NFL with 1,468 kickoff return yards last season. He also scored a touchdown.
