This Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers has become a big game for the Buffalo Bills, who currently it at 7-4 and are on the verge of being out of the playoff picture going into December. With a win today against Pittsburgh, the Bills not only remain in the picture, but they will have the tiebreaker on the Steelers.
Buffalo had a mini bye week with them playing on Thursday night in Week 12, but it was a disaster of a performance on offense against the Texans. Now, without their starting tackles in Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown, Buffalo will be tasked to contain T.J. Watt and Pittsburgh’s defensive line. This could get very rough.
Over the last couple of weeks, the Bills have gone in a bit of a different direction at wide receiver that featured Keon Coleman not suiting up. He missed Week 11’s matchup against Tampa Bay due to disciplinary issues and he did not suit up in Week 12 against Houston, more than likely because it was a short week. However, he is expected now to suit up for the Bills as they take on the Steelers.
Keon Coleman expected to play for Bills in Week 13
According to Ian Rapoport, Coleman is expected to play today for Buffalo, as is Brandin Cooks who signed with the Bills this past week after being released by the New Orleans Saints.

After a strong Week 1 start against the Ravens, Coleman has not been helpful at all for Buffalo. He hasn’t reached 50 yards in a game and only has 3 touchdowns on the year. It’s been an extremely disappointing season for Coleman, who has lost the chance to make up for it the last two games.
Going into Pittsburgh today, the Bills offense is going to have a tough time today due to consistency problems from the wide receiver room, as well as injuries in the trenches. Who knows if Coleman will provide any sort of value. At the same time, Bills fans are looking to see if him being a healthy scratch the last two games will change his performance in a must-win game.
