‘Even a pass of more than 10 yards down the field feels like a chore – never mind completing one.’

Lance Lysowski: How can the Bills overcome their flaws? Toughness and physicality
‘On a blustery night in which the Bills (8-4) needed to win the line of scrimmage with two backup offensive tackles, they pushed around the Steelers and terrorized Rodgers throughout the second half.’
Bills cornerback Christian Benford puts on show vs. Steelers: 'This guy is a baller'
‘“I’ve just been fine-tuning that little technique, stuff that, like, everyone overlooks,” Benford said. “I was fine-tuning it, and I thank the Lord that my work came out to success on Sundays.”’
Three questions after the Buffalo Bills dominate the Pittsburgh Steelers
‘That the Buffalo Bills can overcome a messy first half, and that takeaways really, really matter. The Bills had two turnovers in the first half, and they looked hapless early against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But in their 26-7 win in Acrisure Stadium, the Bills defense evened things up. The Buffalo defense had two takeaways in five plays to start the third quarter, allowing the Bills to take and then extend the lead. Give game balls to defensive end Joey Bosa and cornerback Christian Benford for turning the tide for Buffalo. While the first-half deficiencies are worth examining, the Bills ultimately got the much-needed win.’
4 things that stood out in Bills' resounding Week 13 win against Steelers
‘“Yeah, maybe a little bit,” Allen said when asked if that hit ramped up the motivation. “Moving forward, probably don’t need that to get us going; need to find a way to get going by ourselves.”’
Bills report card: James Cook, backup offensive linemen bully Steelers
‘This is probably a little harsh because the Bills did not need their passing game Sunday, but they do not have a functional aerial attack right now, and that seems utterly insane given how explosive they have been for most of the previous six years. Those days are gone, at least until Brandon Beane can address the wide receiver position in a meaningful way.’
This monster hit on Aaron Rodgers completely changed the Bills-Steelers game (Observations)
‘Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers tried to buy time in the pocket for a receiver to get open, leaving Bosa with enough time to track him down from behind. The Bills’ edge rusher landed a monster hit on Rodgers, who fumbled the ball. Bills cornerback Christian Benford scooped up the ball and ran it in for a touchdown, giving Buffalo a lead it never gave back.’
How two backup tackles helped Buffalo Bills achieve something no team has ever done in Pittsburgh
‘Offensively, figuring it out meant running the ball down Pittsburgh’s throat. James Cook led the way with 144 yards on 32 carries, and Ray Davis added several tough runs where he picked up plenty of yards after initial contact. He would finish with a 9-62 stat line. Between Cook, Davis, Ty Johnson and Josh Allen, Buffalo went on to make history, rushing for the most yards ever at Acrisure Stadium by a visiting team. Cook and company deserve much of the praise, but doing so with two backups at offensive tackle, Ryan Van Demark and Alec Anderson, makes the feat that much more impressive.’
James Cook reveals what he texted reserve OL ahead of the Buffalo Bills’ record-breaking day
‘“I texted those guys, both of them, today when I woke up. Just told them, I trust in them and believe in them. Just, let’s go and get a win.”’
Steelers star Cam Heyward furious after what Bills’ Josh Allen allegedly did to him during game
‘Heyward accused Allen of an intentional cheap shot. Per Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Heyward said that Allen kneed him in the stomach on purpose. This led to Heyward getting into it with Allen and ultimately led to an unsportsmanlike penalty on the defensive tackle.’
T.J. Watt ‘out of words’ trying to describe Bills’ historic rushing performance vs. Steelers
‘“I’ve never seen a team run the same play as much as they ran it today and have as much success as they had,” Watt said. “I mean, I’m out of words for it.”’
Sabato: Bills rebound to punish the Steelers in Pittsburgh to take step in right direction
‘Boos erupting midway through the third quarter, loud chants of “Fire Tomlin” mixed in and “Renegade” played to a half-empty stadium with 10 minutes remaining. The Bills punked the Steelers in their own stadium.’

Bills, and then Steelers, took ball out of Aaron Rodgers' hands
‘The Bills (8-4) rushed for 249 yards – more than any opponent ever at Acrisure Stadium – to control the tempo, flow, momentum and then some. James Cook ran for 144 yards and Josh Allen, as usual, chipped in with some clutch runs, finishing off one drive with a 8-yard TD on fourth down.’
Josh Allen passes Cam Newton, sets record for most rushing TDs by QB
‘The reigning NFL MVP is up to 11 rushing touchdowns this season; his single-season best is 15 from the 2022 campaign. Allen has at least six rushing touchdowns in all eight of his pro seasons. ‘
