(Detroit, MI) -- Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate is voicing his displeasure after the Buffalo Bills carried defensive coordinator and former Lions head coach Jim Schwartz off the field following Sunday's victory at Ford Field. Tate tells 105.1 FM in Detroit that he heard the move was planned ahead of time at the request of Schwartz if the Bills won.

Schwartz was fired as head coach of the Lions in December after five seasons.
