They say when one door closes, another opens, and for Buffalo Bills receiver Keon Coleman, he might have just caught a serious break.
The news of Gabe Davis' ACL injury is horrible, and we hate it for him, but the NFL waits for no one, and now the Bills have to figure out how to proceed with their receiver room for the divisional round.
And that is where Coleman comes in.
On the outer for most of the year, Keon, in the wild-card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, had one catch for 36 yards to go with his 49 yards from the Week 18 win over the New York Jets.
Now with Davis' injury, Keon has the chance of a lifetime.
With the Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs, what better time for Coleman to showcase his talents to the coaching staff than coming up big for his team?
He should see more snaps with Davis out, and if he does, he's got to make the most of them.

Keon has his chance
It hasn't been the sort of season Keon had envisioned, but now he could have his moment in the sun.
Granted, up against the Denver Broncos at Mile High isn't going to be a picnic, but Keon might have a chance to come to the rescue for Josh Allen and the offense.
Yes, Khalil Shakir and Brandin Cooks will be key players, but Coleman could be now as well.
Having been in and out of the line-up, Keon could perform in such a way that would leave the coaching staff with no doubts over his ability.
Showing up big time in a playoff game? That's what Coleman might have the chance to do.
