The Buffalo Bills are coming off arguably their most dominant win of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Offensively, the Bills didn't do much to write home about, only putting up three points in the first half. However, Josh Allen had yet another game in which he passed and ran for a touchdown, and is now the lone leader in rushing touchdowns for a quarterback in NFL history. Additionally, Buffalo broke the single-game rushing record at Acrisure Stadium, totaling 249 yards on the ground.

They allowed just 166 yards of offense to the Steelers, had two takeaways, and returned a fumble for a touchdown. That fumble was spawned by Joey Bosa, who sacked Aaron Rodgers in the first minute of the second half, causing the ball to squirt free and get scooped up by Christian Benford, who returned it for a touchdown.
While Bosa has largely maintained his health this season, he left the game with a hamstring injury on Sunday. Head coach Sean McDermott revealed that Bosa is working through the injury.
"Joey Bosa has a hamstring," McDermott said. "We'll see where that goes."
Bosa leads the NFL with five forced fumbles, and has already matched his season total from 2024 with five sacks. He's also notched eight tackles for loss. Considering his ability to make splash plays defensively, the Bills will need to tread carefully when it comes to their oft-injured edge rusher.
