Inside the Bills: Why Josh Allen's MVP case should be getting more love
‘The only sure-fire, big statistical advantage Jackson has on Allen is giveaways. Combining lost fumbles and interceptions, Allen had 22 of them, compared to 13 by Jackson. But some context is required when considering Allen’s 18 interceptions, including when and where they happened on the field. For example, his first interception in the red zone didn’t come until last week against Miami.’
PlayAction column: Bills must defend 'dark creases' vs. power-running Steelers
‘“This is a physical rushing attack,” Washington said. “Both backs were extremely physical. The offensive line prides itself on dominating the line of scrimmage, whether you are a slide-angle team in the 3-4 tradition or you are a defensive philosophy like ours that’s more gap control-based. And so we’re going to have to match and exceed their physicality. Our discipline and our ability to separate from blocks.”‘
Bills notebook: Stefon Diggs on 'four more'; Sam Martin earns AFC monthly honors
‘“The importance of it, it’s four more, but it’s one game at a time,” Diggs said. “Moreso, the four more emphasis just because we’ve been here before. There’s no shade or no nothing against the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think they’re a great team. And they could be the four-more team.”’
How we see it: News writers predict AFC wild-game game between Bills and Steelers
‘Remember the 2021 home loss to New England? The wind was 27 mph with gusts to 40 mph. Allen was able to throw some. He was 15 of 30 for 145 yards, which was amazing. Mac Jones was 2 of 3. The Bills lost, 14-10. So if it’s not horrendous wind, maybe the Bills can gain an edge in the air. Obviously, turnovers will be huge. The kicking game will be huge. Pittsburgh’s mission is to take the air out of the ball and get to the fourth quarter. It’s easy to imagine it happening. It shapes up as another white-knuckle finish for Buffalo. Bills, 19-18.’
