The bizarre reason why Bills’ Mack Hollins was late for team meeting

Mack Hollins is anti-elevator.

The Buffalo Bills receiver was late to a team meeting because he didn’t want to take the elevator, and preferred walking.

So the long trudge to the meeting cost him being on time.

“An elevator does not need to lift me up to where I can go on my own,” he was quoted as saying, per the CBS broadcast.

Luckily for Hollins, he still managed to go for four catches and 86 receiving yards in what became a key effort in the Bills’ 30-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts during Week 10.

With Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman sidelined, Hollins was in line for a big day, and he fulfilled what was needed, pacing the team in receiving yards, with a season-high in yards.

Hollins and the Bills moved to 8-2 on the season, keeping a huge lead over the AFC East.

The Bills will host the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, who escaped their home turf with a 17-16 win over the Denver Broncos following a blocked field goal, next week.
