Match Preview: What’s at stake?
The Bills vs. Steelers matchup is the final preseason game for both teams, making it an important evaluation opportunity before the regular season begins. Buffalo enters the finale with a 2-0 record, following a 31-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 2, while Pittsburgh is 1-1 after being shut out 17-0 by the New York Jets.

For both coaching staffs, the focus is less on the final preseason record and more on identifying the players who deserve a spot on the 53-man roster. Buffalo will still give some starters a chance to play, but Josh Allen will not be among them.
Head coach Joe Brady confirmed that some projected starters are expected to see action against Pittsburgh, while Allen will sit out the preseason finale. The game therefore represents an opportunity for players competing for key roles—including the backup quarterback, left guard and punt returner positions—to strengthen their cases before roster decisions are finalized.
The Steelers also have several roster questions to resolve, particularly at quarterback and along the offensive line. Will Howard and Drew Allar are among the young players who need valuable preseason reps, while first-round offensive tackle Max Iheanachor is preparing to make his preseason debut after missing Pittsburgh’s first two games with an upper-body injury.
