Bills vs. Steelers Wild Card Preview
The Bills concluded the 2023 regular season on a high note, securing a five-game winning streak and finishing with an impressive 11-6 record, clinching the top spot in the AFC East Division for the fourth campaign in a row.
On the other hand, the Steelers, under the guidance of head coach Mike Tomlin, enjoyed another winning season, winning their last three games of the regular season to attain a 10-7 record.
However, they only finished third in the fiercely competitive AFC North Division, trailing behind the conference-leading Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns.
Bills vs. Steelers Wild Card Pick
Bills 28, Steelers 26
The Steelers can get away with a major upset, considering their strong road record, which stands at 5-3, even better than their home record percentage-wise.
However, this game could go either way, as the Steelers are also missing arguably their best player in linebacker T.J. Watt for the game due to a knee injury.
Bills QB Josh Allen's turnover challenges may resurface, but it's difficult to imagine him struggling against a Pittsburgh defense without their star linebacker.
While acknowledging the Steelers' recent success, it's worth noting that they haven't encountered a defense of the same caliber as the Bills during their three-game winning streak.
