WATCH: Bills rookie surprise Christian Benford makes fourth-down pass breakup
The Indianapolis Colts ran into the surprise of the Buffalo Bills’ 2022 training camp during Week 1 of the preseason: Christian Benford.
The sixth-round rookie cornerback helped the Bills stall a drive from the Colts with a big fourth-down effort in the first half.
Benford, lined up against Indy’s top wide receiver in Michael Pittman, got his hand between the wideout and the ball in impressive fashion. It looked as if Pittman got away from Benford’s coverage right at the sticks, but instead the defender came away with a huge stop.
