CB Tre’Davious White
There isn’t much more you could have asked from Tre’Davious White. On one play, he was stiff-armed pretty badly, but aside from that, maybe the best game of his career?
White had two interceptions in this one, one in the first quarter and then another late in the third quarter, which helped put the Bills in position to tie the game up at 10. In between those, White was also injured (shoulder) but returned to finish off strong. Without White, the Bills don’t lock up a playoff spot in Week 15.
CB Levi Wallace
White had two picks and took the headlines, but let’s give a little shout to Levi Wallace. Jordan Poyer also had an interception in this one, but it’s been a tough year for Wallace. After locking down the No. 2 spot across from White, he’s gradually lost playing time as Wallace now rotates with Kevin Johnson there. Having said that. Wallace’s pick iced and ended the game for the Bills, as Hodges tossed up a duck that Wallace found in the end zone. Also: It was the first interception of the undrafted rookie free agent’s career.
DT Jordan Phillips
The Bills saw elite Jordan Phillips show up against the Steelers. Buffalo had two tackles for loss and two sacks from Phillips in this one. His takedowns of Pittsburgh quarterback Duck Hodges helped the Bills defense put a stamp on this win late. Along with his sacks, Phillips had another two quarterback hurries and three total tackles. Perhaps strategically, Phillips, an unrestricted free agent following the season, gave huge praise to general manager Brandon Beane following the game. Those two sides, at some point, will get some negotiations going.
