Buffalo Bills vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Rookie review

The Buffalo Bills lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 31-13 thanks to a lethargic offense and a shaky, second-half run defense. Multiple inopportune fumbles also didn’t help. As such, it’s perhaps understandable that most of the team’s rookies didn’t make many positive contributions. However, it must be said that the younger players were very rarely the problem or even the main culprit.

More about the performance of each rookie below.

Don’t blame the rookie defensive tackle for the team’s poor run defense. On most snaps, Oliver was able to push his man, usually Eagles guard Isaac Seumalo, into the backfield or at very least held his ground.
