Pittsburgh has been one of the worst offensive teams in the league, however, their defense has played a pivotal role in the success they have had this season and is the main reason they are a playoff team this season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to extend their winning streak to four games when they travel to face the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round of the AFC Playoffs.

The Buffalo Bills won the AFC East for the 4^th consecutive season as they finished the regular season with a record of 11-6 and are on a five-game winning streak following Sunday’s 21-14 win on the road against the Miami Dolphins to win the AFC East. Buffalo has been one of the higher-scoring teams this season in the league as they enter this game averaging the 6^th most points per game with an average of 26.53 points per game.

Defensively, the Bills are allowing the 4^th fewest points per game in the NFL with an average of 18.29 points allowed per game.
