The Pittsburgh Steelers trailed the Buffalo Bills 21-0 well into the second quarter, nearly until halftime. For the next 25 minutes or so, they outscored the Bills 17-3, ultimately making it a one-score game with plenty of time left to play before losing 31-17.
It was an excellent display of perseverance that came to a screeching halt not long after. That was only the second catastrophically deflating moment of the game, however. The first was the sequence that led from QB Mason Rudolph’s red-zone interception to a 52-yard touchdown scramble by Bills QB Josh Allen.
