NFL fans flame on Keon Coleman after Bills WR's costly red zone dropped pass: "Bench him now" 

Wide receiver Keon Coleman was expected to be the Buffalo Bills' X-factor this season in the passing game. After parting ways with wide receiver Stefon Diggs this past offseason, the Bills drafted the former Florida State wide receiver as a weapon for quarterback Josh Allen.

Unfortunately for the Buffalo Bills, Keon Coleman hasn't had a smooth transition to the NFL. Early in the second quarter of Sunday's matchup against the Miami Dolphins, Allen delivered what appeared to be an easy touchdown pass to Coleman.

The rookie wide receiver appeared to make the catch but, it was Dolphins' cornerback Jalen Ramsey who ended up with the ball in his hands.

Fans on social media weren't happy with the play and blamed Keon Coleman. Some called for Bills' head coach Sean McDermott to bench the rookie wide receiver.

A majority of fans who commented on the post on X suggested that Josh Allen should not be blamed for the interception. Some said that Coleman should do a better job at trying to secure the football rather than allow Jalen Ramsey to get his hands on the ball.

"Keon Coleman selling hard."-one user on X wrote

"Josh still only has 1 interception in my book."-said one fan who wasn't counting the interception against Josh Allen

"Cmon rookie got to get to that ball better!"-another said of Coleman's effort

Some Buffalo Bills fans were not only upset that it allowed a turnover for the Miami Dolphins but, also for their own personal Fantasy Football teams. There were quite a few fans who commented that today was the day they chose to start Coleman on their team.

"Keon Keon Keon..."-said one fan

"A lot of Allen's INTs are on him, but this one isn't. Looked like his receiver would've had a walk-in TD if he had held on to it."-one fan said about the interception

"Started Coleman today…"-said one fan who started the wide receiver in fantasy football
