Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught his first career touchdown in the team’s blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 23, but his night didn’t get off to a great start.

 

 

 

Bills head coach Sean McDermott revealed after the game that the team’s top rookie was benched for the first quarter. As reporter Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com reported, Coleman’s benching was a disciplinary issue related to his being on time.

 

 

 

“Sean McDermott benched Keon Coleman for the first quarter against the Jaguars because of an issue related to being on time,” Parrino shared in a post on X.

 

McDermott added that the issue did not take place on game day, but did not provide further details, Parrino added.

 

 

 

 

 

Keon Coleman Made Up for Lost Time

 

After sitting on the bench for the entire first quarter, Coleman made up for lost time in the second quarter. After the Jaguars cut the lead to 13-3, Coleman caught a 24-yard touchdown from Bills quarterback Josh Allen — his only catch and only target of the game.
