In their final home game of the season, with everything on the line, the Pittsburgh Steelers were dominated by the Buffalo Bills. Don’t look at the score because that doesn’t tell the whole story. It was a 17-10 loss but this was one of the worst performances by the Steelers offense all season and that’s really saying something.

Here are our three big takeaways from the loss.

This is Devlin Hodges

Don’t kid yourselves, Steeler Nation. The game Devlin Hodges had Sunday night could have happened in any of his starts this season. Buffalo has a tremendous defense and Hodges had no answers for what they did. The Bills pinched Hodges with controlled pressure resulting in a panicked rookie quarterback who either took a big hit or threw it to the wrong team. The defense and wide receivers have shielded fans from this up until tonight but everyone saw what Hodges does when he faces a bigtime defense.
