Is Keon Coleman playing today? Bills WR off to slow start vs. Steelers image

TL;DR

  • Keon Coleman returned to action for the Buffalo Bills against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14.
  • Coleman's return coincided with an early interception for Josh Allen and a challenging offensive start.
  • The Bills need a strong performance from Coleman to establish an early lead against the Steelers.
  • Coleman's opportunity comes as the Bills face offensive struggles and have added Brandin Cooks.

Buffalo Bills wideout Keon Coleman missed the last two weeks as a healthy inactive, but he saw action against the Pittsburgh Steelers during Week 14.

Facing pressure as they enter this matchup, the Bills need to establish an early lead against Mike Tomlin's squad.

And to do that, Coleman will likely be part of the solution.

Although the Bills commenced their offensive drive, Coleman was absent from the field for the initial few plays, yet he joined the game during a third-and-10 situation.

It seems he may have brought some misfortune, as Josh Allen's pass was intercepted to commence the game in a terrible manner, with no receiver in sight early on.

Coleman requires a significant performance against the Steelers

While it might be an exaggeration to call it a "big game," Coleman needs to focus on the specifics, and when the opportunity arises, he must secure the ball.

Following an inconsistent performance throughout the current season before his suspension, the Bills' coaching team has now provided Coleman an opportunity in the same week that the organization brought in experienced wideout Brandin Cooks.

Keon needs to deliver a performance today, firstly due to his past track record, and secondly, considering the offense's recent struggles over the last few weeks, where the unit has faltered and shown inconsistency.

While the Steelers' defense will present a challenge, Coleman must demonstrate a favorable performance in his return, particularly for his squad, which seems to be struggling offensively.
