Watch: Bills PR Deonte Harty baffles several Bucs' defenders on electric return
Buffalo Bills wideout Deonte Harty electrified the crowd at Highmark Stadium, swiftly alluding several Tampa Bay Buccaneers defenders en route to a clutch punt return on "Thursday Night Football."
Harty's return went only 24 yards, but he easily traveled half the field's distance, if not more, to set the Bills up in the red zone early in the second quarter. Beginning their drive at the Buccaneers' 23-yard line, Buffalo scored five plays later on a 13-yard rushing score by quarterback Josh Allen.
The special teams ace came up big at the right time. Before his big return, the Bills offense had come away with only three points after two long drives to start the game, including a turnover on downs at the goal line.
Joining the Bills in 2023 after spending four seasons with the New Orleans Saints, Harty is on pace to have one of the best years of his career. Not only is he contributing in the punt return game, but he's caught 13 of 16 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown as a pass-catcher.
