While the Buffalo Bills' 27-24 win against the Indianapolis Colts could be viewed as just another preseason game, it meant much more than that to Bills receiver Isaiah Hodgins. For Hodgins, Saturday evening's contest was two years in the making. A 2020 sixth-round pick out of Oregon State, Hodgins missed much of his rookie season due to shoulder problems and spent his second campaign on Buffalo's practice squad.
The New England Patriots dominated the AFC East for 18 seasons but Tom Brady’s departure from the Patriots in 2020 created a power vacuum. For the last two seasons, the Buffalo Bills have filled that vacuum. The Bills won the division title in 2020 and 2021 with records of 13-3 and 11-6, respectively.
Maybe it’s too early to call the Buffalo Bills’ 2022 draft class special, but one could argue the collective impact was the difference-maker Saturday at Highmark Stadium. Five rookies showed potential of being either a long-term starter or potential impact player in Buffalo’s 27-24 preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts. Some starred on offense.
