Bills put Wr Keon Coleman in the series against the Patriots for disciplinary reasons

The Buffalo Bills underwent their first defeat of the 2025 season in a close defeat of 23-20 at home against the New England Patriots on Sunday evening, but the loss was not the only learning experience for one of the main offensive players of the team.

The second year receiver Keon Coleman, who participated in the competition of week 5 leading the invoices in the yards and the offensive snaps, was not on the ground for the first offensive series of the team against the Patriots. Given how the Bills used it this season, it was an unusual development, but the team confirmed that it was useful.

Buffalo put Coleman for the first series for disciplinary reasons, the coach of the Bills Sean McDermott calling him a “discipline of the head coach”.

McDermott remained close to the details of the reason why Coleman did not play the first series. The coach confirmed that it was on something that happened during the training week and that it was a disappointing development.

“Well, we expect more, and he has shown growth this year. He has done so. We are looking for more consistency,” said McDermott.

The receiver bench on Sunday evening did not mark the first time that bills disciplined Coleman for seasonal driving. During the recruit year of Coleman last season, the team put him in the bench for the first quarter of a September match against the Jacksonville jaguars. The 2024 violation should not be on time during the week.

When asked to develop consistency, McDermott developed what he wants with the best limits of the team. Growth, maturation, “started McDermott. “This leads to coherence more than anything, and like anything else, you have winning habits that lead to winning on the field.

“This is really what we are trying to create, and that’s what we are here to help young men, in this case, grow and mature and develop and become professionals, and that is part of the process.”

After the end of the first offensive series, Coleman was on the field for the first game in the second possession of the Bills. Even by missing the first seven Snaps, Coleman had the second largest offensive yield of the Bills receptors with 42, following only the Khalil Shakir Shalil machine receiver, which had 43. Tyrell Shavers, which is mainly a special asset for Bills, took most of the pictures of the first series which are generally reserved for Coleman.

Coleman finished the match with four catches for 23 yards and a touchdown, although one of his receptions led to a lost escape that prepared the patriots for their first points in the match. Quarter Josh Allen has targeted Coleman seven times throughout the defeat against New England.
