Buffalo Bills overpower the Pittsburgh Steelers with a dominant ground attack, raising fresh optimism as playoff season approaches. Can James Cook and the retooled rushing offense spark a consistent run to postseason glory?

Joe Marino spotlights Buffalo's 249-yard rushing explosion, crediting stellar blocking by O'Cyrus Torrence, Connor McGovern, and unsung heroes like Tyrell Shavers. The analysis examines Josh Allen's efficient, risk-averse passing day, the adjustments made without starting tackles, and bold strategic choices from coaches Joe Brady and Aaron Kromer. Defensive talk centers on lockdown coverage by Christian Benford and Tre’Davious White, Shaq Thompson’s tone-setting play, and mounting concerns over the Bills’ anemic pass rush. Key takeaways include snap count shifts, run-stop improvement, and which players are trending up or down as Buffalo prepares for a critical matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Will Buffalo find the consistency needed to contend with the NFL’s best?
