Hardman was elevated from the practice squad with both Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers suffering season-ending ACL injuries. His touchdown was the first score of the game for the Bills, but he also dropped a catch that would have kept Buffalo's drive alive at the end of the fourth quarter. Hardman had no catches on just one target during the regular season as he bounced around a few practice squads. He'll probably need to settle for a practice squad spot in 2026 as well.

Bills wide receiver Mecole Hardman has a history of making big plays in the playoffs, and he did it again today.
