Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET, the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers clash at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh for NFL preseason Week 2 action. The game can be live streamed here. Buffalo fans can hear all of the action on WGR 550 while Pittsburgh fans can do the same on 102.5 WDVE.
The Bills are coming off of a 17-13 preseason loss to the New York Giants in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 3 that kicked off their exhibition season while the Steelers also lost to the Giants 20-16 last weekend to open up their slate.
EJ Manuel returns under center for his second season in Buffalo after going 180-for-306 (58.8 percent) for 1,972 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions in his rookie campaign.
One of Manuel's favorite targets last season was Scott Chandler, who had 53 receptions for 655 yards and two scores while rookie Sammy Watkins will likely have a prolific role for the Bills this season. C.J. Spiller led the team's ground game, rushing for 933 yards on 202 carries last season while reaching the end zone twice.
Manuel spoke about his chemistry with Watkins already with Syracuse.com.
"I think it just happens," Manuel said. "When certain guys are in a read, certain personnel at different spots on the field, you just give them an opportunity to go out and make a catch."
Ben Roethlisberger returns at signal caller for his 11th season in Pittsburgh after going 375-for-584 (64.2 percent) for 4,261 yards with 28 touchdowns and 14 picks. Roethlisberger had great chemistry with wide receiver Antonio Brown last season, who had 110 catches for 1,499 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
Le'Veon Bell was a threat on the ground last season, rushing for 860 yards on 244 carries and reaching the end zone eight times.
The preseason continues when the Steelers host the Bills tonight in Pittsburgh.
