The Buffalo Bills starting slot receiver has been great all season and had career numbers in receptions (82), receiving yards (967), and targets (107) on his way to a second-team All-Pro selection.

The stats against the Colts were on par with what Beasley has done this year with 57 yards and a team-leading seven receptions. However, the circumstances around this game are why his performance is being mentioned.

There were questions about whether Beasley would be able to play in this game after suffering an injury back in Week 16 against the New England Patriots that forced him to miss the regular season finale against the Dolphins.

He then missed the first two practices leading up to the game against the Colts before being limited in the team’s final practice. During the game, it was clear that he was not fully healthy but was able to grind out the performance that he did.

This is why Cole Beasley is not only a fan favorite but one of Josh Allen, as he was able to produce the way he did dealing with the injuries he was.
