It’s time to wake up Bills fans, we’ve got some Buffalo football today! After a utterly disappointing loss against the Texans in Week 12, the Buffalo Bills are back on the road with an in-conference matchup with the 6-5 Pittsburgh Steelers. This game may not have seemed as big when the season started, but it is extremely crucial now for both teams.
Buffalo is on the verge of being on the outside looking in with the playoff picture while the Steelers have let the AFC North slip away from them. The loser of this game could really set themselves up to miss the playoffs down the stretch. At this point, it’s hard to picture the Bills making a run for the AFC East. Right now, the focus should just be to make the playoffs and if they lose this game, there’s a chance that they will be out of the playoff picture going into December.
While fans get prepared for this AFC showdown, here is info that fans should be aware of as kickoff approaches, per the Buffalo Bills PR team.
