It was an impressive performance by the Buffalo Bills in Week 5 as they moved to 4-1 on the season with a 38-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bills would score 31 of those points in the first half and for the second straight week would shut out their opponent in the second half.

It was their biggest margin of victory of the season, as the 35-point total was one point more than their Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. This week it was a complete team victory but these were four players in particular who stood out against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Josh Allen

The first player shouldn’t be too surprising as Josh Allen continues his campaign for an MVP award this season. He had a season-high in passing yards with 424, including over 300 in the first half. Allen also tied his season high in touchdowns with four, all of which came in the first half.

One of the things that stood out this week was Allen’s ability to push the ball down the field and connect on these long throws. The Bills had five players with at least one reception that went for 25 or more yards.

Looking ahead to next week against the Chiefs, in a game that should be high scoring, if Josh Allen can continue to spread the ball around and pick up these big receptions it will put the offense in great position to match what Kansas City does.
