The Buffalo Bills are putting their final reviews on their latest matchup, this one being their recent 26-15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In the effort, we saw the Bills (10-3) rally the troops and put up 23 unanswered points vs. the Steelers (11-2). In letting those scores up, Pittsburgh had little push back against Buffalo on primetime.
After looking at the tape and letting the dust settle, here are five studs and two duds from the Bills in their win over the Steelers:
Duds
OL Ike Boettger
Center Mitch Morse was beaten by Steelers defensive tackle Casey Hayward, but the bigger culprit was guard Ike Boettger. In only his fourth-career start, maybe the Bills put too much on his plate?
Both Morse and Boettger saw their overall season grade via Pro Football Focus take big hits this week, but Boettger’s in particular went from 75.9 to 63.8. Massive dip and it showed. The Bills should go back to him again, though. Let him learn from it.
WR Gabriel Davis
Kind of a weird addition to this list considering he scored a touchdown, but here’s our justification: That was an elite pass from Josh Allen and yes, kudos to Davis for catching it. But he went up with too soft of hands a few times against the Steelers and defensive backs knocked the ball from his hands. Davis had three catches for 19 yards total on eight targets which easily should’ve been more.
