Five takeaways: Bills outgain Steelers but can’t put points on the board in Week 1 defeat

The Buffalo Bills fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers by the final score of 23-16 on opening weekend, and the game felt worse than that and also closer than that for the entire time. The Bills’ defense was very good shutting down the Steelers, but that doesn’t put points on the board.

Here are my takeaways from the game:

Amped up Allen

Josh Allen overthrew Emmanuel Sanders on a deep ball in the first quarter and Stefon Diggs in the second quarter (with Devin Singletary open underneath) on sure touchdowns. He looked uncomfortable, even after getting involved with his legs.
