The Bills earned another primetime football slot this season in their Week 15 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which will take place on Sunday Night Football.
Like any late-season AFC battle for a team with a winning record, this one is important. Win and the Bills are in the playoffs. But the Steelers have plenty of reason to fight, too.
With that, here are seven things to know about the Bills’ Week 15 opponent, the Steelers:
Hot streak puts Pitt in Wild Card battle
Sure, the Bills are in the Wild Card battle. But so are the Steelers.
After a 0-3 start to the season, the Steelers have gotten red hot and at the right time. No easy late games for the Bills, apparently.
Pittsburgh has won seven of their last eight games at sit with eight wins overall, right behind the Bills, who have nine. With that in mind, the Steelers enter the game as the second Wild Card holder in the AFC, with the Bills holding the first one. The winner will hold the fifth-seed in the playoffs after this one. For Buffalo a win will lock up a playoff berth with two games remaining as well.
Included in that hot streak is a promising record on their home turf, too. The Steelers are 5-2 at home this season.
