The Buffalo Bills had their largest margin of victory for the season on Sunday as they came away with a 38-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bills got the lead on the third play of the game and never really looked back with three straight touchdown drives in the second quarter to build a 28-point lead heading into halftime.
There were a number of positions that stood out in this game that helped build that big lead but a few that will need to do a little bit of work after watching the film from this game. These are the grades for each position group in Week 5.
Week 5 grades for the Buffalo Bills against the Pittsburgh Steelers
Quarterback
Josh Allen had one of the best halves of football of his career as he would throw for over 300 yards in the first half while finding the end zone four times. He threw two touchdowns to Gabe Davis, one to Stefon Diggs, and one to rookie Khalil Shakir.
He finished the game with 424 passing yards, 42 rushing yards, and those four touchdowns.
The only blemish on the day was Allen did have an interception, which was by former Buffalo Bills’ cornerback Levi Wallace, in the end zone. If Allen threw that a little deeper, it would have made his performance even more impressive.
The turnover didn’t have much of an impact on the game and in the end it was just another game where it was clear that Allen was the best player on the field, for either team.
Final Grade: A+
