After the Buffalo Bills’ epic Week 4 comeback against the Baltimore Ravens, the team didn’t want to play from behind and came into Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers with one thing in mind: domination. The Bills didn’t trail once and held the Steelers to zero second-half points in the 38-3 onslaught. There wasn’t much worry from Bills Mafia entering this game because of head coach Sean McDermott’s record against rookie quarterbacks, but the injury report was still concerning.
Although defensive tackles Jordan Phillips and Ed Oliver returned from their injuries, safety Jordan Poyer, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and tight end Dawson Knox were unable to suit up.
