The Buffalo Bills needed a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the worst way this past weekend. After one half of football, the Bills looked to be in big trouble. Trailing 7-3 and playing generally uninspired football on offense, Buffalo needed a jolt. Joey Bosa provided that jolt, sacking Aaron Rodgers and causing a fumble that Christian Benford returned for a touchdown. From that point on, Buffalo dominated the contest en route to a 26-7 win.

While it wasn’t a perfect game by any means, the Bills did exactly what they had to do in order to come out on...

During Sunday’s bounce-back win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Buffalo Bills were playing without their top two offensive tackles in Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown. Yet James Cook III, Ray Davis, and Buffalo’s rushing attack didn’t miss a beat, amassing the most yards on the ground against a Steelers team playing at home in 50 years as the Bills prevailed in a must-win game, 26-7, to hang onto the seven seed in a crowded AFC playoff race.

Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with other key thoughts and observations on Buffalo’s performance as the Bills bullied the Steelers and...

After a great win by the Buffalo Bills over the Pittsburgh Steelers, there may be no more perfect an end to Week 13 than to see the New England Patriots slip up against the New York Giants. It’s very unlikely, given the disparity between the two club at the moment, but no one ever thought the 2007 Patriots would be stopped in their quest for perfection.

We know now that 18-1 happened, and that this year’s Patriots are chipping well above their weight class. While that may actually make next season more difficult thanks to a better finish, it’s still...

The Buffalo Bills flattened the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-7 on Sunday afternoon, bringing their season record to 8-4. Buffalo now holds possession of the seven seed in the AFC, with the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Jets all on tap for the final five games of the season.

The Week 13 injury report was rather lengthy, with offensive tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown both sidelined, along with wide receiver Joshua Palmer and tight end Dalton Kincaid. On defense, linebacker Terrel Bernard was unable to suit up after sustaining an elbow injury in Week...

The Buffalo Bills committed two costly first-half turnovers during Sunday’s Week 13 clash vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers and went into halftime trailing 7-3 despite James Cook, Ray Davis and the ground game consistently gashing the Steelers during the first 30 minutes.

The second half was a completely different story for the Bills, who emerged with a 26-7 victory to hang onto the No. 7 seed in the crowded AFC playoff picture, and today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with observations and analysis from a bounce back win for the Bills in Pittsburgh.

Thoughts on Bills win over Steelers -----------------------------------...

Late in Sunday’s 26-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Buffalo Bills may have received another piece of bad news. Defensive end Joey Bosa was listed as questionable to return to the game with a hamstring injury.

Bosa’s exit from the game (he did, in fact, not return) was quiet and unnoticed until the Bills made the announcement from the sideline. What was noticed was Bosa’s strip-sack on Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The forced fumble was the fifth of the year for the Bosa, who is now tied for the team’s single-season record.

The good news for Buffalo is that...

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert broke his non-throwing hand in Sunday’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders. After the game, the Chargers stated that their starting quarterback will undergo surgery on Monday, and that his status for Week 14 is uncertain.

Herbert, however, is making plans to play a week after the surgery when the Chargers host the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

Los Angeles currently sits at the fifth seed position in the AFC’s playoff picture. The Chargers have an 8-4 record as do the Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colts. Los Angeles has a 7-2 record in...

Well, that was different! By the time Styx’s “Renegade” blared over the soundsystem at Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh Steelers fans were over it. The Buffalo Bills were well on their way to a dominating 26-7 Week 13 victory in the most unlikely of ways. It didn’t matter how the win came, the goal was just to find a way.

Buffalo destroyed a Pittsburgh defensive line that insisted on talking far too much between plays. Meanwhile, the Steelers couldn’t get out of their own way in trying fruitlessly to establish a ground game. The Bills are now 8-4 and still in playoff...

The Buffalo Bills won in Week 13, but the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars did, too. The Bills stick in the seventh spot in the AFC this week.

The New England Patriots remain in first place in the AFC East. They play on Monday night and Buffalo can’t pass them.

The Denver Broncos play Sunday night.

The big news came in the AFC south where the Jaguars and Texans won and the Colts lost, shuffling the order. The Jaguars move into first place in the division and third place in the AFC. The Colts fall from the top of...

Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills’ reigning NFL MVP quarterback, is no stranger to NFL records. Now, he has another. With his latest rushing touchdown, Allen has surpassed former Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton as the leader in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history.

Allen scored his 76th regular-season rushing touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Buffalo facing third down and goal to go, Allen called his own number on a quarterback draw. In typical Allen fashion, he bulldozed his way into the end zone, dragging defenders and teammates alike across the goal line for...

The Buffalo Bills trail the Pittsburgh Steelers 7-3 in a game that defines the importance of field position. If there’s one thing to prioritize against Pittsburgh, it’s not turning the ball over on offense. Yet, quarterback Josh Allen and running back James Cook III have killed scoring opportunities thanks to a turnover from each.

Being candid, this offense is terrible. There have been two catches by wide receivers. The running back is working well as expected, but offensive coordinator is telegraphing plays by overusing Cook in too many predictable ways. Buffalo has twice as many yards on offense as compared...

The Buffalo Bills are dealing with two injuries to their starting offensive line on Sunday. Left tackle Dion Dawkins and right tackle Spencer Brown are both out. In their place, Ryan Van Demark is making the start at left tackle and Alec Anderson is in at right tackle.

Anderson hasn’t played right tackle since he played at UCLA in 2021. His playing time in Buffalo has almost exclusively been as a sixth offensive lineman.

Buffalo hasn’t been down two starters on the o-line in quiet some time as they have stayed very healthy. Brown missed agame earlier this year and...
