Christian Wade has done it again, lighting up the NFL with Buffalo
Christian Wade has done it again, lighting up social media following yet another eye-catching play as he continues his impressive transition from rugby to American football.
Wade made an emphatic start to his NFL career a fortnight ago with an audacious 70-metre touchdown for the Buffalo Bills.
His second act was just as impressive on Friday night when playing his part in his team’s 27-14 pre-season win over the Carolina Panthers who were held scoreless until the fourth quarter.
The former Wasps and England winger caught a short pass from Tyree Jackson and then broke multiple tackles on his way to a 48-yard reception before getting halted just shy of the end zone.
That stellar contribution again lit up social media similar to his initial impact a few weeks ago in the Bills’ 24-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

i think Argentina v France could be a good game too, depending on which Argentina turns up. The most difficult to call is Scotland Australia.
Go to commentsSmith is playing a different game with the rest of the backs struggling to understand. That's the problem with so called playmakers, if nobody gets what they're doing then it often just leads to a turnover. It gets worse when Borthwick changes one of them, which is why they don't score points at the end. Sometimes having a brilliant playmaker can be problematic if a team cannot be built around them. Once again Borthwick seems lacking in either coaching or selection. I can't help but think it's the latter coupled with pressure to select the big name players.
Lastly, his forward replacements are poor and exposed either lack of depth or selection pressure. Cole hemorrhages scrum penalties whenever he comes on, opponents take advantage of the England scrum and close out the game. Is that the best England can offer?
