Steelers show vulnerability, head to big test at Buffalo
By BARRY WILNERDecember 11, 2020 GMT
Now that an undefeated season is gone, the Pittsburgh Steelers almost seem vulnerable. Losing at home to an NFC East team will give you that look.
The Steelers (11-1) suddenly see the vise closing in the race for the AFC’s top seed and only playoff bye. They are tied with Kansas City, though Pittsburgh owns the tiebreaker for now. Cleveland in the Steelers’ division is two games back, and those archrivals meet on the closing Sunday of the schedule.
And this Sunday, in prime time, Pittsburgh heads to Buffalo (9-3), the AFC East leader.
