3 takeaways from Bills-Steelers preseason game: Did no Josh Allen mean bad things for Buffalo offense?

‘The first-team offensive line played well. Trubisky had tons of time to make a play when throwing the ball. The problem was that he either checked it down or hung on too long and was sacked.’

Bills’ Ray Davis says smack talk from an unlikely source riled him up for Steelers matchup

‘“Last week, I really didn’t have a good outing,” Davis told the media. “That was not very good, in my opinion, so I had to get back in the lab, you know? Understand that there were some things I missed. Last week, I was a little jittery just trying to get used to the game and the speed, but I told myself to just go out there and play your game.”’

How Bills’ Joe Andreessen, a May tryout player, flipped script to enter roster battle

‘Three months later, he was responsible for calling and leading the Bills defense against former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson. Twelve tackles later – with an entire fan base buzzing about Andreessen – the 24-year-old has firmly placed himself in contention to make the team for real when general manager Brandon Beane selects the final 53 players.’

Buffalo Bills receiver leaves on a cart in preseason game vs. Steelers

‘Valdes-Scantling was down for over a minute and received medical attention from athletic trainers before walking off the field on his own power. Valdes-Scantling made a short catch and was wrapped by defensive back Thomas Graham when Wilson came flying into the play late to land the hit to the head/neck area of Valdes-Scantling.’

Bills’ Greg Rousseau is nightmare for Steelers’ Broderick Jones and Russell Wilson (Good, bad, ugly)

‘Heavy rain fell leading up to the game which caused the team to change its mind about starting key players like Josh Allen and Terrel Bernard. Buffalo erring on the side of caution made plenty of sense in a meaningless game.’

Texans analyst takes shot at Bills’ Josh Allen following Stefon Diggs preseason reception

‘“Just get inside your DB and CJ [Stroud] will hit you,” Harris said. “I don’t know if Josh Allen would have, but CJ will put that ball right on the number.”’

7 Takeaways: Rousseau dominant, Andreessen shines, run game heats up in Bills preseason win over Steelers

‘Despite the Bills announcing Friday the team’s starters would suit up against Pittsburgh, Josh Allen did not take the field, likely due to the wet weather that made the playing surface a bit slick. Allen wasn’t the only Bills starter to receive the night off, as middle linebacker Terrel Bernard was also sidelined days after it was revealed that fellow LB Matt Milano would miss extended time due to a bicep injury. Lancaster native Joe Andreessen started in place of Bernard. Von Miller was in uniform during warm ups but did not take the field during the game.’

Preseason Takeaways: Joe Andreessen enters the chat as Bills linebacker depth is tested

‘Andreessen, considered to be a longshot to make the final roster, made a team-high 12 tackles as he played through the first drive of the third quarter in Buffalo’s 9-3 preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday. “When a young guy gets an opportunity and he makes the most of it, it’s fun to watch a young man like that,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “… You love stories like that. Real happy for Joe.”’

Russell Wilson slogs through a rusty preseason debut. Josh Allen sits as Bills top Steelers 9-3

‘Tyler Bass kicked three field goals for the Bills (1-1), who were more engaged against Pittsburgh than during a lifeless loss to Chicago last week, even with Josh Allen watching from the sideline. Buffalo coach Sean McDermott kept his franchise quarterback out of the lineup following a pregame thunderstorm that made the field slick and forced fans to clear the stands twice.’

Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling ruled out with neck injury

‘Valdes-Scantling was injured as he was being tackled by three Steelers defenders following a catch on a third-down pass from quarterback Ben DiNucci toward the end of the first half.’

Steelers vs. Bills score: Russell Wilson, Justin Fields uninspiring as Buffalo pulls out low-scoring affair

‘As the final score indicates, this was not a matchup that featured two high-flying offenses. In fact, we didn’t see a team cross the 50-yard line until we were six minutes into the second quarter. Josh Allen was supposed to start this preseason game, but when the Bills offense took the field, it was former Steeler Mitch Trubisky under center. He completed 9 of 13 passes for 86 yards and threw a bad interception in the first half, but did lead a field goal drive. Rookie running back Ray Davis stood out with 58 rushing yards on eight carries.’

CBS Sports | Aug 18, 2024

Is Josh Allen injured? Why Bills QB sat out preseason game vs. Steelers despite being announced as starter

‘The decision appeared to be made last minute, as Allen was seen warming up in uniform with the team before kickoff and even participating in the coin toss. The quarterback got some action when he played eight snaps in the season opener, but it looks as though that will be all he gets until at least next week.’

Buffalo defeats Pittsburgh 9-3 in second game of NFL preseason

McDermott: 'The defense came out with a purpose…'

‘”The defense came out with a purpose and they understood the plan, they understood what they wanted to get done. I though coach Babich and the defensive staff put together a good game. We didn’t do a lot but we allowed our players to play.”‘
