Steelers vs Bills practice report: Steelers get 2 starters back

Pittsburgh’s offense might get a welcome return from two starters this week.

The Day One practice report for the Pittsburgh Steelers was a mix of good news and bad news. The good news is, as the Steelers prepare to take on the Buffalo Bills running back James Conner and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster have both returned to practice.

On the bad news side of things, running back Jaylen Samuels is dealing with a groin injury and did not practice along with tight end Vance McDonald who is in the concussion protocol.

The Steelers have three games to play and realistically their worst-case scenario and still make the playoffs are to go 2-1. With the Baltimore Ravens on the schedule, it means they can’t drop this one against the Bills. Having Conner and Smith-Schuster back would be huge as long as it doesn’t upset the offensive chemistry this group has been building.

As for McDonald, if he can’t go, rookie Zach Gentry might be active for the first time since Week Six.

Steelers QB Devlin Hodges on playing in the cold: ‘Usually ducks like it when it’s a little colder anyway’

You have to love the confidence Devlin Hodges is playing with right now.

It’s hard not to enjoy the confidence and focus Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges carries himself with. For an undrafted rookie out of an FCS school, Hodges has stepped up big time for the Steelers this season.

This week Hodges will face his stiffest challenge yet when he and the Steelers welcome the Buffalo Bills to town for a primetime showdown with massive playoff implications on the line.

But for Hodges, it’s all about this game and it’s only the more important because it is the next game they play. Hodges also dismissed any concerns about playing in cold weather on Sunday night noting that ducks like it better when it’s cold. The longterm weather forecast shows a high of 37 and a low of 26 on Sunday so look for the temps to fall somewhere in between.

Hodges is 3-0 as a starter which is a remarkable number for an undrafted rookie. But you can see him getting more and more comfortable with the offense and the coaches keep putting more and more on his plate.

Steelers vs Bills: James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster to practice again this week

The Steelers could use James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster this week.

Last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to get running back James Conner back on the practice field in a limited role. This week it sounds as if Conner will once again give it a go in practice with the hope of playing this week against the Buffalo Bills.

According to head coach Mike Tomlin, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster could return to practice this week as well. Smith-Schuster has missed three straight starts with a knee injury.

Tomlin also noted that tight end Vance McDonald is in the concussion protocol and running back Jaylen Samuels is dealing with a groin injury.

If there was ever a weekend for the Steelers to have all hands on deck it is this week against the Bills. But truth be told, the absences of Conner and Smith-Schuster could be seen as blessings in disguise. The emergence of Benn Snell Jr. at running back and both Diontae Johnson and James Washington at wide receiver can only help this team down the stretch.

Steelers vs Bills will be a historic family affair

It will be a band of brothers this week for Steelers vs Bills.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers square off with the Buffalo Bills, something will happen for the first time in 92 years. There will be three brothers player in the same game. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’ll be safety Terrell Edmunds and running back Trey Edmunds. And for the Bills, it’s linebacker Tremaine Edmunds.

The last time this happened was in 1927 when the Rooney brothers, Joe, Bill and Cobb all suited up for the Duluth Eskimos. Yep, that was a thing.

The Bills’ brother is the starting middle linebacker for Buffalo. He has 56 tackles on the season. For the Steelers, Terrell is the starting strong safety and has 83 total tackles. Trey saw some reps to help when injuries had shredded the Steelers running back depth chart. With a potential return of James Conner, his opportunities could be very limited.

Steelers to wear ‘Color Rush’ uniforms vs Bills on Sunday night

There’s no better alternative uniform than the Steelers Color Rush.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night, they will once again wear the best alternative uniform in the history of the NFL. Yes, the Steelers will once again dress out in their Color Rush uniforms.

Pittsburgh first wore their Color Rush uniforms back in 2016 in a game versus the Baltimore Ravens. This game went down in history as the “immaculate extension” when Antonio Brown stretched across the goal line for the game-winning touchdown.

The Steelers are 5-1 wearing the uniforms with the one loss coming this season against the San Francisco 49ers.

Steelers open as home favorites to Bills this week

The Steelers are favored at home but not by much to the Buffalo Bills.

This week the Pittsburgh Steelers will have their final home game of the season when they take on the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers are playing for their playoff lives every week and with two road games to wrap up the season, they need a little more of the magic they have been playing with the last eight weeks.

The opening line for this week’s game on Bet MGM shows the Steelers as slight 2.5-point favorites. Considering the Bills are currently 9-4 and ahead of the Steelers in the playoff standings, this is generous.

Pittsburgh is 16-9 lifetime in the series and have won the last six and are 9-1 in the last 10. This game will be on Sunday Night Football and Pittsburgh is always a tough out on prime time TV.

Steelers Week 15 game vs Bills flexed to prime time

The Steelers get another night game.

The NFL has decided a matchup between two teams battling for playoff position in the AFC needed to be the nationally televised prime time game. So when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills square off on Week 15 they will have the night game as opposed to an early kickoff.

The Steelers currently sit in the No. 6 spot in the AFC thanks to going 6-2 over the last eight games. The Bill are currently 9-3 but because they have to play in the same division as the New England Patriots can do no better than the No. 5 seed in the AFC.
