Due to his performance against the New York Jets, fullback Reggie Gilliam has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 11.
Gilliam made a textbook open-field tackle on Jets return man Xavier Gipson on the opening play of the game, which resulted in a fumble that gave the Bills possession deep in Jets territory and ultimately led to a successful field goal attempt. Tight end Quintin Morris recovered the fumble.
Following Gilliam’s forced fumble, the sideline erupted in cheers, and Josh Allen, the quarterback, gave the fullback credit for igniting the Bills offense early on. The team played its best game since Week 4.
“On play one, Reggie Gilliam established the mood. That was the crux of the matter,” Allen stated following the match.
Since Nyheim Hines in Week 18 of the 2022 season, Gilliam is the first Bills player to win the special teams player of the week award.
