The Buffalo Bills had three players make the Pro Bowl roster this year and this is how they did in the annual All-Star game.
The Buffalo Bills originally only had one player make the Pro Bowl roster, which was cornerback Tre’Davious White. However, due to injuries and the Kansas City Chiefs, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and returner Andre Roberts were named to the roster as replacements.
Surprisingly it was returner Andre Roberts who had the biggest impact on the game with two receptions for 30 yards, including a five yard touchdown catch from Lamar Jackson in the final minute of the first quarter.
He also had two punt returns for 11 yards.
The impact Roberts was going to have on this game was expected to be minimal due to the fact that the Pro Bowl doesn’t have kickoffs. It was surprising to see him involved in the offense considering the wide receivers that were on the AFC roster.
However, it was good to see Roberts used as a wide receiver, a role that he was asked to play more in his first season with the Bills than previously with the New York Jets.
Meanwhile, Tre’Davious White found his way into the box score with two total tackles and one pass defended. As for Tremaine Edmunds, he didn’t record any stats in the Pro Bowl.
The AFC ended up winning the Pro Bowl by a final score of 38-33, which marks the fourth straight year the AFC has won the game. The NFC opened the scoring with a Michael Thomas touchdown but the AFC responded with Roberts’ touchdown reception.
It was the NFC that took the lead back with an Amari Cooper touchdown but the AFC responded with 17 points to close the second quarter and didn’t give up the lead the rest of the game.
