ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- When Buffalo Bills receiver Cole Beasley returns with the Bills to his home state for a huge Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys, he'll have a lot more on his mind than facing his former team.
In his first season with the Bills (8-3), Beasley -- 49 catches for 525 yards and four TDs -- is on pace for his second-best season in terms of receptions and yards. Buffalo has the inside track to an AFC playoff berth, and Thursday's game (4:30 p.m. ET, CBS) against the Cowboys (6-5) is an important test for Beasley's new team.
