Aaron Rodgers returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense is a massive injury boost for the Week 13 showdown with the Buffalo Bills, a pivotal matchup with both competitors having much to lose this Sunday.
To defeat the Bills and expand their lead over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, the Steelers need to follow these three offensive keys to victory in Week 13.

There's no debating the Bills have struggled mightily to stop the run this season — and Pittsburgh needs to abuse that weakness to their advantage this Sunday.
Keep Rodgers upright
With the Steelers down LT Broderick Jones against a solid Bills edge-rusher duo of Joey Bosa and Greg Rousseau, Pittsburgh cannot afford to have Rodgers — who's dealing with a left wrist fracture — take many hits in Week 13. Chipping Buffalo's pass rushers and having running backs help block on obvious passing downs should more than help on Sunday.
Get Roman Wilson involved early
The Steelers haven't gotten much production out of their wideouts this season — but Wilson just seems to always get open, regardless of targets or opportunities coming his way. To take the heat off DK Metcalf, getting Wilson involved throughout the contest is the recipe for success.
