Overview
- Coleman was a healthy scratch against the Buccaneers after arriving late to a Friday team meeting, a decision both he and coach Sean McDermott acknowledged.
- McDermott outlined a progressive 'strike approach' to discipline and said he still believes the second-year receiver can learn from the setback.
- Dion Dawkins said he remains in Coleman's corner but warned that 'pats on the back are over' and the receiver needs to grow up and deliver.
- Buffalo's other options contributed versus Tampa Bay, with Tyrell Shavers posting 90 yards and a touchdown, Gabe Davis adding 40 yards after a practice-squad call-up, and new signee Mecole Hardman available.
- Coleman accepted responsibility, saying he must be better, as his Year 2 totals sit at 32 catches for 330 yards and three touchdowns, leaving his playing time uncertain after Josh Allen's six-touchdown outing.
