Ray Davis was the star of Monday Night Football
On Saturday, he attended Kentucky versus Vanderbilt in Lexington. On Monday, he led the Buffalo Bills in rushing and receiving yards in a 23-20 win over the New York Football Jets on Monday Night Football. Now, Ray Davis is the talk of the NFL following his breakout rookie performance in primetime.
Davis carried the ball 20 times for 97 yards and caught three of Josh Allen‘s passes for a team-high 55 yards, including a ball Allen threw with his back against the end zone to Davis at the 50. The long reception set up Buffalo’s go-ahead touchdown in the first half.

Filling in for injured Pro Bowl running back James Cook, Davis seized the opportunity as the Bills’ second back, behind Ty Johnson.
