Bills vs Steelers: Week 5 rookie review

The Buffalo Bills took care of business against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5, winning 38-3. While we know better with the NFL, it was a game that truly felt over at halftime. The injuries keep piling up for the Bills, and a multitude of key pieces on both sides of the ball were held out of this game. Meanwhile, the return of defensive tackles Ed Oliver and Jordan Phillips to the interior defensive line paid quality dividends.

The Bills are now relying more and more on rookies as the season unfolds. Multiple rookies were key players in Week 5, and a big part of the reason Buffalo won on Sunday.
