We've seen this before.
Mecole Hardman, motion one way, play action, leak into the right flat, catch a playoff touchdown.
He did it to win the Super Bowl for the Kansas City Chiefs on a pass from Patrick Mahomes.
And he just did it on Saturday to score his first touchdown with the Buffalo Bills.
This is what it looked like:
Mecole Hardman playoff TDs are back!

Hardman was just elevated on Saturday from the practice squad. He's filling in for an injury-ravaged Bills receiving corps.
He wasn't expected to see much work as an actual wideout, but there was near the goal line.
His motion attracted attention, because he's a candidate to get a sweep as a run play.
But that set up him to get open perfectly.
Andy Reid would be proud of the Joe Brady play call.
