WATCH: Buffalo Bills WR Sammy Watkins Left Stranded On Revis Island

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is one of the best young receivers in the game. He has battled injuries throughout the year, but returned to action last week against Miami with a big game catching all eight passes that came his way for 168 yards and a touchdown. However, Thursday night the competition was going to be a lot stiffer.

He was going to be faced with Darrelle Revis. While he was aware of the difficulty of the challenge he was also looking forward to it. So--how did he do?

Had he not been overthrown on one play he could have had a nice long touchdown reception. On the night he ended up catching just three passes (of the seven thrown his way) for 14 yards which would make it look like Revis won the night.

With the defense playing well and a nice lead the Bills didn't worry about taking any gambles in the passing game choosing to run it and kill the clock (33 run plays to 27 pass plays). Had they passed more maybe they wouldn't have gone four drives in the second half without a first down.

So Watkins was not needed as much as other nights making Revis' job a lot easier.
