Buffalo Bills receiver Keon Coleman was forced to watch his team's 44-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from the sidelines as punishment for missing a team meeting on Friday.
With this being Coleman's second time of having an off-field issue, with his first seeing him be benched for the first series of a game earlier in the year, but this time, the Bills simply put a line through his game for the Week 11 game.
It is hoped that this sends a message to the second-year receiver, and what transpired on Sunday was an offensive explosion without him, as Josh Allen threw 317 yards and three touchdowns in the win.
But what are Allen's thoughts on the franchise's decision to sit Keon?
“I don’t make those decisions,” Allen said. “Would’ve loved to have him out there, the way the rosters work, how it works sometimes.”
Keon is still a young player and no doubt trying to navigate his way through what has been a tricky second season, but does Josh have any words of advice for Coleman?
“Just continue working hard and control what he can control,” Allen added.

Coleman facing huge test ahead of Week 12
Missing a team meeting on a Friday when you play Sunday isn't great, and we can only speculate as to why Keon was absent from it.
But if the Bills took the decision to completely remove him from the Week 11 game, then that suggests that Keon might have slipped up in some way.
And with Gabe Davis (40 receiving yards) looking good in his Bills return as the chemistry with Allen is still strong, along with Tyrell Shaves posting 90 yards and a touchdown, Coleman might find it hard to get back into the team.
But it starts with a strong week of practice, and of course, attending all team meetings first.
