Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Buffalo Bills live stream: TV, time, channel, how to watch online

"The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills continue their preseason schedule with a game at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo at 4 p.m. Eastern on Saturday.Bills head coach Rex Ryan has stunned fans by announcing EJ Manuel will start against the Steelers. Manuel had been written off after a disappointing training camp, and he had been working with the scout team.But Ryan has decided to give Manuel one last look before likely choosing veteran Matt Cassel as his starting quarterback for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Indianapolis Colts."

Buffalo Bills RUMORS: Sammy Watkins MVP Of Training Camp?

"Watkins’ problem is definitely not his talent it is his health and the Bills quarterback situation. The Bills have since restocked their offense with the additions of running back LeSean McCoy, tight end Charles Clay and receiver Percy Harvin, while keeping most of their attacking defense intact.At least one injury, however, doesn’t appear to be all too serious.Watkins was the fourth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft and caught 65 passes for 982 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie last season. But he’s been sidelined with glute soreness lately and the team prevented him from playing in last Thursday’s preseason contest. However, each has been dealing with an injury over the past two weeks, opening up opportunities for other players to step up. That’s good news for the Bills, especially considering the team is expected to place a heavy emphasis on the running game."

Buffalo Bills: What to watch for against Pittsburgh

"The third and most pivotal preseason game is upon us, and the Buffalo Bills will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game most teams view as the final dress rehearsal before the regular season kicks off. With the fourth preseason game barring little significance outside of final roster decisions, the third preseason game is the real headliner. Teams will prepare like it’s a regular season game, with an increased focus on game planning and preparation. The Bills, however, are not taking the conventional route.The Bills will play all three potential starting QB’s with their first team against Pittsburgh, a head-scratching move for some fans. While it may not answer the burning question fans are asking, it certainly will provide for some exciting, and much more competitive, football. These are my three things to watch during the Bills third preseason game."

Steelers Michael Vick will play vs. Bills on Saturday

"On Saturday, Michael Vick will cap off his whirlwind week by doing what he does best: playing football.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that the Steelers newest quarterback will play against the Buffalo Bills in Saturday’s fourth preseason game. Vick, who was signed earlier this week to replace injured quarterback Bruce Gradkowski, practiced with the Steelers for the first time on Wednesday at the team’s South Side facility.It is unknown whether to not Vick will play before or after Landry Jones, who has played in all but two quarters of the Steelers three preseason games thus far. Ben Roethlisberger said earlier this week that he expects to play at least a half of the team’s game in Buffalo."
