The Steelers and Bills clash in Week 3 of the preseason in Buffalo with both teams looking to make a statement.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills will each play their third preseason games on Saturday night at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Pittsburgh comes in looking to fine-tune some minor issues. The Steelers are 1-1 in the preseason after losing their opener to the Philadelphia Eagles (despite their starters outplaying Philly's) and then beating the Indianapolis Colts.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has looked good while learning Todd Haley's system. However, the Steelers' offensive line has continued to show depth issues and the return units have been poor for Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin to this point.
The Bills are 0-2 after losing to the Washington Redskins in Week 1 and then being blown out by the Minnesota Vikings. Buffalo hasn't been able to generate much offense, but the bigger concern is its defense.
Against a Vikings team not expected to make much noise, the Bills' starters were shredded by second-year quarterback Christian Ponder, who completed 10-of-13 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown.
When the Steelers come to town, the Bills will surely have a stiff test to prove they're the up-and-coming team many experts believe them to be.
