Steelers Defense Shredded, Fall to Bills 43-19

When opposing quarterbacks combine to go 30-33 for 386 yards, three touchdowns and zero turnovers, you know it has been a bad day for your defense. When those four signal callers all play for the Buffalo Bills, you start to question the legitimacy of the unit as a whole.

The Pittsburgh Steelers started slow defensively and never recovered, as the Bills gashed the Steelers for 530 total yards and 43 points on their way to a 43-19 victory on Saturday afternoon.

Fred Jackson opened the scoring with a touchdown plunge from a yard out, after the 34 year-old running back set himself up with a 41-yard romp through the Steelers defense on the Bills first play from scrimmage.
