Keon Coleman celebrates after a touchdown.
The Buffalo Bills enter Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints as far and away the largest favorites in the NFL this weekend. The line opened with the Bills as 16.5 point favorites, meaning Vegas predicts that Buffalo will win by at least three scores. It has since been bet down to a measly 14.5, which is still four points higher than the next closest.
I say that to say this, the Buffalo Bills are the better football team. And when it comes to the game plan, second year wide receiver Keon Coleman did not sugar coat it.
“I mean, I wouldn’t say none,” Coleman said when asked what challenges the Saints’ defense presents. “It’s an offensive game, we’ve got to execute on our end and that’s pretty much that.”
He went on to say that no one has stopped the Bills’ offense in the first three weeks and that any issues they have faced have been self inflicted.
“We don’t feel like we’ve been getting beat (by the defense),” Coleman continued. “The only way we get beat is if we beat ourselves. Just handling what we handle, execute, honing in on the details, and, you know, go from there.”
Keon Coleman Speaks On Diminished Workload
Coleman is currently leading this receiving core in every statistical category. His 14 receptions are a team high, his 18 targets are as well. As far as yards go, he leads the team with 158. He is one of just two wide receivers that Josh Allen has been able to get into the end zone.
With the team improving to 3-0, still some eyebrows are raised by Allen’s “pedestrian” 755 passing yards. Coleman hears the concerns, but does not share them.
“If the run game is working, why put the ball in the air?” Coleman asks. “Make them stop the run, and then you go from there. Like I said, you’re going to have games where you have to throw the ball to win, and you’re going to have games where you run the ball, do what you do, you’re going to win. So is what it is. Win is a win.”
Coleman displays a refreshing amount of maturity from a 22-year-old talented wide receiver, something that is not as common as one might think among the NFL’s top wideout talents.
