On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills gave the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season and made the AFC playoff picture very interesting. However, it took some sacrifice, and wide receiver Khalil Shakir was at the forefront.
On a third and nine play, Shakir reeled in a catch late in the fourth quarter for the first down, a major point in the game. Unfortunately, he was hit by Chiefs safety Bryan Cook.
It prompted a wild comment from broadcaster Jin Nantz, who said, ” Shakir holding on as Cook absolutely blasted his backside.”
Of course, what he said about Shakir immediately went viral on social media.
Of course, it made for a very funny moment, but it cannot be understated how amazing of a catch it was from Shakir and how much it helped the Bilsl take home the win.
Khalil Shakir Just Keeps Moving
When the Bills spent a fifth-round pick on Shakir in 2022, it would have been amazing if he had developed into a decent wide receiver.
He’s completely surpassed that and has caught 48 passes for 529 yards and two touchdowns in 2024. He is improving on his 39 receptions, 611 yards, and two touchdowns in 2023.
