Bills' Beasley: 'Glad I'm on this side' in return to Dallas
Buffalo Bills receiver Cole Beasley returned to Dallas on Thursday and looked like a man possessed.
Beasley had his best performance of the season in the Bills' win over the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, finishing with six catches for a season-high 110 yards and a touchdown against the franchise with which he spent the first seven years of his career.
The 30-year-old wasn't focused on revenge, though, but rather was motivated by making another positive stride with his new club.
"I'm just glad I'm in a place coaches believe in me, teammates believe in me, and they give me opportunities to do what I do," Beasley said postgame, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. "I was telling everybody before the game, I'm just glad I'm on this side while we're here.
"It's been a great experience, and everybody else played their butts off and got win No. 9. That's the most important thing, so I'm just glad to take another step forward."
In his first season with Buffalo, Beasley is on pace to have the best statistical campaign of his career, and his contributions have helped the 9-3 Bills own the third-best record in the AFC.
"I'm just grateful, really, for (Beasley) and his mindset, as well, because of what he comes from and what he stands for," Bills head coach Sean McDermott said. "He's just one piece but there's a lot of other stories in our locker room of guys like Cole - that maybe it didn't work out in one place, but it works out in Buffalo.
"That's the culture we're trying to build, where guys come to Buffalo ... and they can become the best version of themselves."
