For his late-game, history-making heroics during the Buffalo Bills’ Week 18 victory over the Miami Dolphins, wide receiver/return specialist Deonte Harty was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
With 13:55 left in regulation, Harty fielded a booming punt from Jake Bailey at the Bills’ four-yard line. After quickly disposing of the first Dolphins player in front of him, Harty shot out of a cannon, heading football north in a race for the end zone. Ninety-six yards and 12 seconds later, Harty reached paydirt for a very critical six points in Buffalo’s favor.
