Steelers vs Bills injury update: Buffalo OTs OUT this week

When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, the Bills will be minus both of their starting offensive tackles. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that both Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown are out this week versus the Steelers. This is in addition to linebacker Terrel Bernard and wide receiver Curtis Samuel.

This news should be great for Steelers edge rushers T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. Unfortunately, we've heard this story before, and it hasn't ended the way we thought. Pittsburgh has faced multiple backup offensive tackles this season and the Steelers have failed on all fronts to take advantage of those mismatches.

This season has been a massive letdown for the Steelers' pass rushers. A once-dominant unit, this group hasn't been able to get any sort of traction this season. Watt leads the team with 7.0 sacks on the season, which is only good enough for 14th in the league. Herbig is just behind him with 6.5 sacks and the two combined still have 4.5 less than Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett.
