Sammy Watkins becomes first offensive player in Bills history to win Rookie of the Month
Watkins caught 21 passes for 393 yards and three touchdowns over the past month. It’s a marked improvement from his September performance, when he had 17 catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns.
He becomes the first player in Bills history to win the NFL’s offensive rookie of the month award. Last season, linebacker Kiko Alonso won the NFL’s defensive rookie of the month honors for September.
