The Pittsburgh Steelers come to Orchard Park this week for an opening-weekend clash with the Buffalo Bills. This is the third consecutive year that the teams have met, but it’s the first game that won’t happen during primetime tv. Buffalo beat Pittsburgh at Heinz Field 17-10 in 2019, and last year they beat them 26-15 at Highmark Stadium.
In both contests, the game turned on big defensive plays. In 2019, a Tre’Davious White interception turned the tide in Buffalo’s favor, while Taron Johnson returned his interception 51 yards for a touchdown in 2020 to give the Bills a lead they would not relinquish.
