The Buffalo Bills extend their winning streak to six games in a row with a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning 31-17. The Bills got up early on the Steelers 21-0, before the Steelers managed to get on the board before halftime. From the third quarter and on, the Steelers played like the better team but could not get the job done against the Bills, who played great situational defense in the fourth quarter. Buffalo will get to the divisional round for the fourth consecutive season.

The Bills were double digit favorites going into this game and even though they won by double digits, the eye test showed that the Bills were a different team for the worst in the second half. At the end of the day, Buffalo got the job done and they get the chance to host another playoff game next week.

Here are five initial takeaways from the Buffalo Bills 31-17 win over the Steelers.
