Bills’ Deonte Harty Shares 3-Word Response to Wild Punt Return TD

Deonte Harty had one of the biggest plays of the Buffalo Bills‘ season on Sunday, returning a punt for a franchise-record 96 yards for a game-tying touchdown against the Miami Dolphins.

The big play helped shift momentum toward the Bills after a mistake-filled first half, pushing them to a division-clinching 21-14 win.

But after the game, an exuberant Harty could not tell reporters exactly what happened on the play.

“I blacked out,” Harty said, WKBW’s Matt Bove on X.

“I can’t tell you what happened,” Harty said, via The Associated Press. “I’d just seen a crease. I hit it. And the next thing you know, I was free.”

Harty’s punt return gave the Bills an important spark. The team held the Dolphins on the next possession then took the lead on an Allen touchdown pass to tight end Dawson Knox. The defense that held the Dolphins scoreless for the second half then iced the game with a late interception of Tua Tagovailoa.

Let's see, Vrabel, Bellichick, Carroll, and Saban are among the coaches either fired, retired or leaving their teams by "mutual agreement" (I think the mutuality of it is what makes it an agreement, but I digress). This will be interesting.  :pop41:

NFL playoff games should NOT be played in outdoor stadiums when the temperature is ZERO or below!

It's no different than having thoroughbred horses running on unsafe surfaces...it's stupid and a hazard.

Especially when they have changed the game trying to protect players with no helmet-to-helmet contact and other illegal contact.

ENOUGH!!  Postpone the games until the temperature rises.

Tell the Packers that...lolololol.

@Jack Russell

Understand you point, but players today earn in 1 year what Bart Starr made his entire career.

Heck...the wide receivers and lineman probably do.

You don't play 18 weeks dealing with players' injuries, etc., to reach the playoffs to have the weather dictate the quality of the sport.

...just an opinion.   :beer:

Texas wife goes viral after creating bingo card for husband's reactions while watching the Cowboys. Sorry to say I could do something similar for my husband's football-watching habits.

Not watching the game, I boycott the NFL.  But.....

Gotta say....Seeing Dallas down 27-7 at  the half is a slight consolation for the ALCS anomalous event last October.

Who'd da tunk?   Texans move on, while Dax gets waxxed.    :silly:

@catfish1957

So...I wake from a 3 hour nap.

Always leave my television "on" for my cat...(Her favorite place is resting in a large fruit bowl on my coffee table)

Walk into the living room and evidently had the NFL Network channel on where I proceed to sit my ass down and watch the LIONS vs RAMS game....almost the entire 2nd half.

My buddy calls me to tell me the Cowboys are getting whipped by the Packers...then I notice the game I'm watching is a REPLAY of the game from 2022.

As the 49ers take the week off to see who they'll play next week, we take time to look back at MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey tying AL Bundy's long standing record for touchdowns in a single game earlier this year.

Polk High's all time rushing leader, also known for his sales of women's shoes, congratulated CMC after the game.

"The best piece of advice I could give him is to never get married" said Bundy.

Bundy's record has stood since 1966.

@seanfeucht
This guy has been an inside linebacker coach for 4 years with little experience. He uses his first press conference as a head coach is to school everyone on racism. Zero gratitude. Zero humility. Good luck Patriots.Get ready to fail, New England.


“I do see color, because I believe if you don’t see color you can’t see racism.” Jerod Mayo on being named the first black head coach in Patriots history.

NBC edited out Houston QB CJ Stroud's praise of Jesus Christ in a post-game interview posted to X. Would they have done the same if he'd said, "Allah akbar"?

I heard him say it "live", so maybe they edited it in the replay.

After the end of the ALDS, our guy Verlander dropped 13 F bombs in the after game interview after winning the series.  I am guessing pretty much all the networks are using 10 second delay when athletes talk now

I got the impression NBC cut it from subsequent broadcasts and/or whatever they posted online.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
