The Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills met last season a week after the Steelers’ winning sequence of eleven games abruptly ended against Washington. The Steelers were still playing for the AFC’s top seed but found the (9-3) Bills had no intention of making life easy for their rivals.
Pittsburgh scored first with James Washington’s 19-yard touchdown catch. A 51-yard interception return by Taron Johnson began the Bills comeback which Josh Allen continued early in the second half. Allen’s two touchdown throws on consecutive drives rocked the Steelers who left Orchard Park with a 26-15 loss. Now on to a classic matchup in this series.
