The Buffalo Bills play the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road during Sunday Night Football. These three matchups will be key as they look for win No. 10

This coming weekend, the Buffalo Bills will look to secure a spot in the AFC playoffs. They need a few things to go their way to officially lock it down, but the main key is winning their own game.

That game happens to come on Sunday Night Football as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are currently the sixth seed in the playoffs behind the No. 5 Bills.

Let’s take a look at the upcoming game and identify three matchups that will potentially determine the outcome.

3. Tre’Davious White vs. James Washington

The Steelers offense is nothing like it was to start the season. Injuries have destroyed their roster but somehow they keep winning.

It’s a credit to their coaching staff but this isn’t to say there are no players on offense to worry about.

Heading into this one, James Washington might be the guy Buffalo needs to key in on. Washington has shaken off a poor rookie season and had 611 yards this year. What’s most impressive is his ability to get deep.

Washington averages 18 yards per reception this season. On Sunday, Tre’Davious White will be tasked with covering him. It won’t be easy but White is no slouch. He can handle Washington as long as he stays locked in, which will be the key in this matchup.
