It was a good and bad day for Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Buffalo’s second-round rookie scored his first-career touchdown. It came as a bit of a surprise.
Not because of anything talent related, instead, it was because he was not featured much early on. Why was that the case?
It was nothing performance based.
Head coach Sean McDermott revealed following the 47-10 win that Coleman was benched. The reasoning was because Coleman was late, presumably at some point over the past week, to the Bills’ facilities during practices this week:
Sean McDermott says Keon Coleman was benched the first quarter for a timeliness issue
“We addressed it, we support him, we move forward,” said McDermott, who went on to say he thought the rookie WR had a good game

The Bills offense flew out of the gate in their win.
Coleman did not play in the first two drives for the team.
He eventually did get on the field and his touchdown was his only catch of the game. Coleman made it count.
Coleman will hopefully learn from that.
