Sammy Watkins makes sick one-handed catch (Video)
By Ian O'Brien
Sammy Watkins made an amazing catch that reminded Bills fans why they traded up for him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins has been quiet on Monday Night Football against the New England Patriots, but he made his first catch of the night count. Watkins snagged a 17-yard pass with one hand and hauled it in to complete a play that may make the SportsCenter top 10.
The Bills put up a fight against the Patriots on Monday night, as they held the Patriots offense to 20 points while making quarterback Tom Brady look human at times. Unfortunately, Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor had a forgettable performance as he was held to zero touchdown passes.
Watkins was also shut down as he did not make a single catch before his highlight-worthy play. Wide receiver Chris Hogan was the only Bills receiver to have a notable game, as he came up with the majority of Taylor’s passing yards.
Bills running back LeSean McCoy is the only Bills player who has ben able to breathe life into the Bills offense, as he came up with over 100 all-purpose yards. He also rushed for a touchdown in the second quarter, which tied the game.
However, the Patriots offense began to light up in the second half and make just enough plays against a tough Bills defense. The Patriots ultimately improved to 10-0 while the Bills fell to 5-5, which puts their playoff chances in jeopardy.
