How one Bills weapon accomplished something that hasn't been done in nearly 50 years

The Buffalo Bills’ offense is built on the big play. Quarterback Josh Allen’s big arm gets most of the credit, but he has an elite cast of deep threats out at the wide receiver position that make this the most exciting offense in the NFL.
Davis reminded the rest of the NFL that he is one of the league’s most difficult pass catchers to defend down the field with a 98-yard touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He would add another touchdown in the win over the Steelers, this one coming from a measly 62 yards out. Davis finished the day with three catches for 171 yards and two scores.
In Sunday’s win against the Kansas City Chiefs, Davis recorded three catches for 74 yards with his longest reception coming on a 34-yard touchdown strike from Allen.
Of players with at least three receptions, Davis leads the NFL in yards per catch (27.4). This yards per reception average hasn’t been seen through six games since the New York Jets’ Wesley Walker did it in 1977, per Pro Football Reference.
Not Wes Welker, but Wesley Walker.
Prior to the season, much was made about a potential breakout year for WR Gabe Davis. After an ankle injury delayed Davis’ start to the year, Bills Mafia is finally starting to see these pre-season projections pay off.
