The Pittsburgh Steelers' season is at a crossroads as Week 13 of the NFL season begins, holding just a half-game lead in the AFC North. Their rival Baltimore Ravens sit at 6-6 after suffering a disastrous loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and the 6-5 Steelers can put serious pressure on them with a victory against the Buffalo Bills this week.
Doing so was never going to be easy, even with the Bills' uneven play over the past two months. They will be without both of their starting tackles against Pittsburgh, but the Steelers have a significant injury at that spot themselves.
