Buffalo Bills receiver Keon Coleman must have been listening to George Michael's hit song "Faith" because that is all the team had when it was down 15 points to the Baltimore Ravens late in the fourth quarter before mounting an incredible comeback to win 41-40 at Highmark Stadium.
With Josh Allen in MVP form, the Bills managed to win the unwinnable, being down two scores with just under five minutes left.
But the defense, which had been consistently gashed through the air and on the ground all game by Lamar Jackson and co., stood tall and forced a Derrick Henry fumble to give Buffalo a shot at the win.
Something that Keon had complete faith that the defense was going to make happen.
“We know what we have to do to win it,” Coleman said. “Our defense, we have faith they're going to make a play, which they end up doing. I thought it was going to be a pick, but they came up with the ball, got the fumble, and we just had to go do what we had to do.”

And it was a one-way street from then on.
Coleman would finish his night's work with 112 yards from eight receptions and a touchdown to begin the year in style, as he played a key role in helping his team come back from a dire situation.
Faith. As long as you have that, you have a shot. And Buffalo certainly had it against Baltimore.
