Buffalo Bills vs Pittsburgh Steelers | Week 13 Game Preview
Buffalo hits the road again. Mafia fans once again left wondering, what kind of team are we looking at? Like trying to figure out if it’s Mr. Robot talking or Elliot. Bills division title hopes a long shot after losing two of their last three. Short picked and the Buffalo Bills are going to come into Houston and get beaten. They are in Pittsburgh this week. Steelers have also lost two of three and four of their last six after coming up short versus Chicago. Fourth down, 28 seconds left. They need six yards. Rudolph throws and it’s tipped to the line of scrimmage. It’s over. Makes this a critical matchup. Take another loss and it gets dicey. Josh Allen went from fantasy god week 12 to fantasy dadbod week 13. No TDs a sub70 rate game. throwing two picks, which he’s done back-to-back games now, and a pick in three straight games, too. Allen throws, tip, intercepted. You can argue his performance last week and Buffalo’s offense as a whole, a reflection of facing the screwiest defense in the NFL, but 12 points versus Houston. Two weeks earlier, it was 13 points versus Miami, a 14-point dud versus Atlanta week six. Some fine point totals mixed in between, but they can’t afford to keep shorting out regardless of who they face. Under pressure. Pocket collapsing. Down he goes. Allen can’t afford another octopus’s garden. He lost 70 yards on eight sacks versus Houston. Most he’s ever taken in a game in his career. Second and 10. Allen steps up. Look out. Runs around again. Down he goes again. TJ Watt is salivating right now. strip sack recovered in the end zone for a TD kind of sack last week. Loses the ball and the Steelers jump on top of it. It’s a touchdown and it’s TJ Watt. That unfortunately for Pittsburgh Deb, the only time the Steelers tracked Caleb Williams down. They didn’t have Alex Highmith. Only one sack in each of their last two games. Defense gave up 31 points to Chicago. 24 plus points allowed in four of their last six. Williams downfield. Open man touchdown DJ Moore. And the secondary Allen faces gave up three touchdowns to Williams in their week 12 loss. Rate over a 100red, no interceptions. Williams a strike to DJ Moore. Pittsburgh has not played the pass poorly overall and they held Williams to 19 for 35 passing under seven yards per attempt. Allowed 46 yards to Luther Burden, 49 to Coloulston Loveland, 53 to Romo Dunay. though that was nine targets. Struggled with DJ more than most. Two touchdowns given up to him with 64 yards. Allen did throw for over 250 yards. Khalil Shakir comes in off a good game. Eight catches for a season high 110 yards after going for minus three the week before. Quite the turnaround. Nice move by him to get the first down. Skirt the sideline. Rest of the cast. Allen’s working with Jackson Haw. two catches 26 yards a week ago. Gabe Davis one catch 22 yardds. Joshua Palmer 21 yds. Dawson Knox 17 yds. And Ty Johnson who came up with some big grabs for 45 yds. Johnson gets it. Johnson out pass the 35. Johnson will get the first down. James Cook fans can argue he needs to be relied upon even more. He’s the other guy who hits this game flexing. 116 yards, 6.8 8 yds per carry, a 45 yd touchdown versus the Texans. Picking and threading his way is Cook. He’s out in front and Cook will take it all the way for a touchdown. Pittsburgh played Chicago’s backs well enough. Have handled backs this year. Well enough, holding them to 4.2 after holding DeAndre Swift to 15 yards. Kyle Manongi to 48 yards on four per try. Pitch it. Manungai is brought down in the back field by Herbig. The Aaron Rodgers watch will be on all week, of course. Sat out last week with a fractured wrist. Offense only mustered 21 points without him. Shotgun on second and short. Rudolph to throw it. Looking for a big play sideline and it’s intercepted. Hoping to fire things back up versus a Bills defense whose last three games are as follows. gave up 30 points to Miami, 32 to Tampa, and 23 to a Texans offense that struggled to score consistently this season. They let Houston convert two of four red zone chances. Red zone offense, something the Texans have been borderline terrible at. To the end zone, caught. Touchdown, Higgins. With all that said, they did hold Houston to two for 12 on third down. They held Davis Mills to 153 yards, didn’t pick him off, and didn’t sack him once. Pass rush looked unstoppable versus Patrick Mahomes. Since then, just one sack in their next three games. Going to the air, checking it down left side. Catch is at the 37 yd line. It’s made. If Rogers can’t go, more Mason Rudolph. He took two sacks to Chicago pass rushers on 31 pass attempts. So, not a big deal last week, but Rudolph’s nose didn’t lead them to much of a passing attack. Threw an early pick, only one touchdown, just 171 yards on a lowly 5.5 per attempt for a sub90 rate. It has been all screens, dink and dunk behind the line of scrimmage. They have not really opened up the offense. And here we go. Not one Steeler with 37 plus receiving yards last week. Calvin Austin led the team with 36. Darnell Washington 22. DK Metaf 22. So their best route might be via the ground game. No reason not to load up on the run versus the Bills. They’ve been super generous to running backs all year. They were to Woody Marx who they gave up 74 yards to on 4.6 a carry. Marks a sub4yd per carry back this year. Flip back here. Here’s Marks. Off to the races he goes. Pittsburgh’s rush attack hits this matchup hot too. Metaf scored on a lateral pass. Jaylen Warren with 68 yards in a tud. Kenneth Gainwell broke away for a sneaky 55 yardd run. 92 yardds total. Pittsburgh with 186 rush yards a season high. Pitch it to Warren. Nobody there. Warren touchdown. Someone’s going to bounce back and feel better. The other will feel the climb take on a steeper grade. Bills have beat the Steelers four of their last five meetings. closed the gap to four in the series all time. Four playoff battles between them. 1974 the first. The awakening Steeler offense won this one. The Pittsburgh attack took wing as Terry Bradshard generalneled his forces to over 400 yd and 32 points. Take it in for a set. Take wrestle hooray. Way to go, Frank. Led by Franco Harris’s three touchdowns. The Steeler offense blew away the Bills. Just when you get around, just slow down so I can hit you like a hook. Okay. We got all kind of running room. Yeah. Please heat.

Final score 15-43. Steelers get blown out.
Bills-29
Steelers-26
I think Steelers are going to win in a close game, Rodgers has a good game back and Metcalf finally has peak game
This game is a toss up! Gut saids buffalo should totally bounce back and beat steelers. But I have a weird feeling steelers will win this game. Steelers defense of front will get to Allen.
Bills are missing both starting tackles. If Brady doesn't start keeping backers/TE to help block, Allen is gonna have another rough game. Curious to see if Brandin Cooks will play.
🔥🔥🔥
Bills 54 Steelers 17
Will Howard it is your team to shine 🔥🙏
9-8 the legend continues 😢
Steelers got screwed by the refs on their 4th and 1 at the bears side of the field which was a definite first down,,
Bills haven't been good on the road this year…
Steelers by 10! 🕺🏼
Let's go Buffalo. Beat the Steelers in their home stadium on Sunday
It's a blue wave baby!!!
Go bills
As a Steelers fan… when I hear “the Bills haven’t been able to score the last 3 games” I already know that means they’re putting up at least 36 against the Steelers
As a Steelers fan im scared for this game but hopefully we pull it off I got Steelers 23-20
I hope Bills win
Love the MR. ROBOT reference
I’m a Steelers fan and would love Howard to get an opportunity. But I think the bills clean up a lot of their struggles and beat us good.
So the bills paying the refs for this game??
