Gabriel Davis News

Davis had an impressive catch of 25 yards toward the end of the second quarter, but he overall was one of many Bills offensive weapons to struggle in the snow. In fact, top wideout Stefon Diggs didn't fare much better than Davis, catching four passes for only 35 yards. While starting all 15 games he played in the regular season, Davis hauled in 48 of 93 yards for 836 yards and seven scores, marking his best campaign yet despite still carrying weekly inconsistencies. With 2023 slated to be the final year of his rookie contract, Davis will strive to continue his ascent next season.

Davis' display was highlighted by a toe-tapping, 23-yard touchdown during the third quarter to extend Buffalo's lead. After exploding for 201 yards and four touchdowns in his last playoff game, Davis made another strong impact while returning to the postseason Sunday. With both he and Stefon Diggs topping 100 receiving yards, the Bills' starting wideouts now approach the divisional-round in fine form.

Davis tied Stefon Diggs for the team lead in targets but didn't make much of the volume. Big things were expected from Davis in his third NFL season after he broke out last postseason, but Buffalo's No. 2 wide receiver struggled to find consistency en route to 48 catches for 836 yards and seven touchdowns on 93 targets. Davis had at least 88 yards and a touchdown on three different occasions, but he also produced fewer than 40 yards in eight of 15 appearances. The Bills will forget about Davis' underwhelming season in a heartbeat if he can return to peak form in the postseason, starting with the wild-card round against the Dolphins.

Davis led the Bills in receiving yards on the windy, frigid day at Soldier Field, and he erased an early 7-0 deficit with a 19-yard scoring grab just past the midway point of the first quarter. Davis tied his career high with what was his seventh touchdown catch of the campaign, and he now has at least three grabs in six of the last seven contests. Davis next takes aim at a tough Bengals secondary in a critical Week 17 road matchup on Monday night, Jan. 2.

Davis finished third on the Bills in each of targets, receptions and yards. He did the majority of his damage on a pair of catches that went for 21 and 15 yards but was ultimately overshadowed by a big game from Dawson Knox. Davis has now been held under 60 receiving yards in six of his last eight games, and he has only two touchdowns in that span.

No Bills pass catcher reached 50 yards in this one, so Davis wasn't the only player who struggled to create separation against the sticky Jets secondary. Davis has been held below 40 receiving yards in seven of 12 appearances this season, including Week 3 against the Dolphins, whom the Bills will face again in Week 15.
