Mike Tomlin confirmed that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without two key players for the Week 13 game against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. These are major blows to both the offensive line and the defensive line.

ā€œBroderick Jones has a neck injury. He’ll be classified as out this week. Same thing goes for Derrick Harmon. He sustained a knee injury in play. He was able to finish the game, but he’ll be characterized as out this week. Alex Highsmith, he’s been out the last couple of weeks, but we’re optimistic as we start the week about his inclusion.ā€

After the loss to the Bears without Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers dropped to a 6-5 record and the Ravens now hold the lead in the AFC North. In fact, for the first time in a long time, Pittsburgh is currently out of the playoffs, and their Super Bowl hopes are hanging by a thread.
