The Buffalo Bills managed to keep their playoff hopes alive while frolicking in the snow on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. A few of the team’s rookies made major contributions towards that result, including a certain fifth-round linebacker who’s now locked in to a starting role as the team’s weak-side linebacker. Below are summaries of how each Bills rookie performed, but first, a note of caution: evaluating players in snowy conditions can be difficult. The snow can put players in an advantageous situation on one snap and in a disadvantaged situation on the next.
Snowy conditions can wreak havoc on cornerbacks because their entire role is predicated on being able to react quickly to receivers, but Tre White’s coverage was decent for most of the day.
