‘All season the cry has been for the Bills to create more turnovers. In the biggest game of the year, they came in the form of an avalanche as there were four interceptions of overmatched Steelers QB Devlin Hodges plus a huge fumble recovery inside their own 10-yard line.’

With playoff spot secured, Buffalo Bills can still win division over New England Patriots
‘If Buffalo does not win the AFC East, it will be the No. 5 seed and play the AFC divisional winner with the worst record, which is currently the Houston Texans at 9-5.
Oh brother! Get ready for three Edmunds on the field Sunday night
‘“Man, that’s amazing, just to be part of that history, it speaks for itself and we’re very blessed for the opportunity,’’ Tremaine Edmunds said. “There’s really no other way you could really want it. It’s a dream come true for all of us and this will be a moment we cherish and will always remember.’’’
One win gets the Bills into the playoffs, but it won’t come easy against the Steelers
‘Steelers 13, Bills 10.’
Roth: Bills have yet to lose consecutive games and Pittsburgh is no place to start
‘Do they really want to go into New England (10-3) or (gulp) needing to beat a resurgent New York Jets (5-9) squad on the final day of the regular season to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl tournament? If that Jets’ scenario materializes, the Bills will be on a three-game losing streak and frantically loosening their top collar buttons.’
Can Josh Allen stand the heat of the ‘Blitz-burgh’ defense?
‘They better learn quickly because Sunday night the Bills are taking on a Pittsburgh defense that will be in attack mode from start to finish. The Steelers don’t blitz as often as the Ravens, but you can bet they’ve studied the tape of Buffalo’s losses to New England, Philadelphia and Baltimore and know how much the Bills have struggled against extra rushers.’
Devin Singletary is proof Buffalo Bills don’t need a first-round RB to succeed
‘Having a stud running back is a nice luxury, but it continues to be proven time and again in this new era of quarterback-driven, pass-heavy offensive football that you don’t need a first-round running back to succeed.’
Bills gave it a great effort on defense, but offense dooms them in loss to Ravens
‘“At the end of the day we didn’t make enough plays,” said quarterback Josh Allen, who struggled mightily from start to finish. “We have to be better in that aspect.”’
Josh Allen had a rough day against a suffocating, blitz-heavy Ravens defense
‘The way the Bills contained Lamar Jackson — if allowing him to throw three TD passes can be considered contained — they very well could have pulled off an upset had they gotten anything from Allen and the rest of his pals on offense. If the Bills contained Jackson, the Ravens suffocated Allen.’
Roth: McDermott in no mood to talk ‘moral’ victories after sloppy loss to Ravens
‘After pondering how his team gave the Ravens two short fields to score touchdowns after an Allen fumble and a 29-yard Corey Bojorquez punt, how too many passes were dropped, how Allen was sacked six times and hit 12 other times, McDermott wanted no part of having his feelings massaged.’
Lamar Jackson’s poise, not legs, shine in win over Bills
‘It wasn’t a brilliant performance at New Era Field for Jackson, a credit to a swarming Bills defense, but as he’s done all season Jackson made the plays when it counted.’
Buffalo Bills report card: Josh Allen, offense were terrible and let the defense down
‘It was an egregiously bad day for the offensive line as it had no answers for Baltimore’s non-stop blitzing tactics.’
Buffalo Bills playoff picture is pretty clear: Just win once and they’re in
‘Houston lost to Denver, Oakland lost to Tennessee, and Indianapolis lost to Tampa Bay. It would have been the perfect storm for Buffalo, that is until Marcus Peters broke up Josh Allen’s fourth-down pass over the middle from the Ravens 16 with 1:03 left to play to secure Baltimore’s victory which, by the way, enabled it to clinch its own playoff berth.’
Roth: Baltimore Ravens offense suits superstar QB Lamar Jackson perfectly
‘“I don’t know what it means exactly, if it means are they going to solve him as a player or shut him down, no I don’t think that’ll ever happen until he retires because he’s just that good,’’ Harbaugh said of Jackson, who has accounted for 32 touchdowns, 25 passing and seven rushing.’
For the Bills to upset the Ravens, it will take their best performance of the year
‘Ravens 19, Bills 17.’
