The Steelers should have sent Buffalo players a nice post-holiday gift after the Bills upset the New York Jets in the 2015 season finale in January. They have one more reason to still do so.
That Bills victory kept the Jets out of the playoffs and allowed the Steelers to squeeze in past them. Another helping hand from Buffalo played a big part in the Jets losing again, only this time directly, to the Steelers Sunday at Heinz Field.
The Bills released cornerback Ross Cockrell, their fourth-round draft pick in 2014, before the start of the 2015 regular season.
