5 things stand out in Bills thrilling comeback against Steelers

Key Points:

• Buffalo Bills quarterback Shane Buechele played the entire preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, leading a comeback victory 28-27 and solidifying his role despite coach Joe Brady initially suggesting a split with Kyle Allen.
• Max Hairston has been confirmed by coach Brady as the starting cornerback opposite Christian Benford, winning the CB2 job over Davison Igbinosun despite some early mistakes in the game.
• Outside linebacker Michael Hoecht made his first game appearance after recovering from a torn Achilles, participating in the first three defensive series as he nears full readiness for the regular season.
• Punt return duties remain competitive, with Ray Davis muffing an early punt leading to a Steelers touchdown, while Mecole Hardman showed inconsistency, and the Bills hope to solidify this role to free up roster spots.
• Rookie punter Tommy Doman appears poised to win the punting job over veteran Mitch Wishnowsky, delivering strong punts including a 59-yarder, despite a costly touchdown allowed on a return after his fourth punt.
