The veterans in the sideline couldn’t wait to congratulate Elam.

Seeing the B-plus team play like a borderline elite defense is going to do oodles of good. I don’t care that a rookie quarterback was down gobs of points quickly against one of the league’s best offenses. I don’t care that it was a rookie quarterback making his first start on the road. The Bills kept a real live NFL team out of the end zone with mostly a second-team secondary. That’s why I call him one of the best backup linebackers in the NFL. Tyrel Dodson had a standout performance with a team-high 11 tackles and a (cheapy) sack. On defense, the Bills held Pittsburgh to just three points despite missing five starters. There won’t be any qualms turning back his way in the near future. Sure, it helps to have Davis and Stefon Diggs nearly going for three bills around him, but Shakir did his job. Khalil Shakir appeared composed and dangerous as the Bills’ top slot receiver. This game was a confidence booster all over the board for a variety of young guys. That’ll qualify as this week’s entry in the 2022 book “Holy bleep! Josh Allen did what?!?” A 60-minute mark that Allen set in about 45 minutes. For balls that had to travel 50-plus yards in the air, Allen’s accuracy was as eye-opening as his club-record regulation passing total of 424 yards. The wind was not game-altering, but it was there. Don’t underestimate how difficult it was for Allen to put both the long Davis touchdown passes right on the fingertips.
