The Steelers and Bills face off tonight as part of a packed Saturday slate of NFL preseason action.

Pittsburgh and Buffalo both are coming off preseason losses. The Steelers were narrowly defeated by a Texans team that saw C.J. Stroud throw a touchdown pass that ultimately made the difference in the 20-12 loss. Justin Fields, acquired from Chicago in the offseason, finished 5-for-6 for 67 yards, surrendering two sacks in the process.

Meanwhile, Buffalo was soundly defeated by the Bears in a 33-6 drubbing in Orchard Park, giving up eight sacks and committing 11 penalties. The Bills briefly saw Josh Allen in at quarterback for just three passes, completing two. 

Former Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky got most of the reps under center, finishing with 82 passing yards. The Bills were out-gained by Chicago, 340-200, resulting in a forgettable six successful third-downs out of 17 attempts.

Both teams will attempt to turn the page as the regular-season draws closer. Steelers-Bills is one of 13 games taking place Saturday, as games are scattered in the afternoon and evening hours.
