Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for a key game against the Buffalo Bills at home. After the loss to the Chicago Bears, the team has a 6-5 record.

Obviously, the Bengals’ win over the Ravens was big help, as the Steelers regained the AFC North lead without even playing. Even so, there is no margin for error if they want to fight for the division or stay alive in the wild-card race.

The huge question is whether Aaron Rodgers will be ready for that showdown with the Bills after the wrist injury he suffered two weeks ago. Tomlin already has a definitive answer and also his final decision.
