While no one wants a teammate to go down with an injury, Trent Sherfield coveted the opportunity he got in the Bills offense against the Dolphins in Week 18.
Starting receiver Gabe Davis went down with a knee injury. Upon leaving the contest, Sherfield stepped in and made a huge difference.
Sherfield caught a toe-tapping touchdown catch on a tipped pass. The final was a one-score game, a 21-14 win for the Bills.
Sherfield’s best game of the year included a season-high four targets. Having that run in the offense really meant something to him, you could tell that by the way Sherfield explained what it felt like to lineup alongside quarterback Josh Allen.
“It’s so dope, man. I have the privilege of obviously playing a little bit more today,” Sherfield said. “You can just see it in (Allen’s) eyes.”
And Allen expressed similar confidence in Sherfield too.
“That’s a heck of a catch. Former team that he was on so I know it means a lot to him,” Allen said via video conference. “It says a lot about the depth that we have and the character we have in this locker room.”
