Steelers-Bills NFL Week 15: What You Need To Know

PITTSBURGH, PA - If you're a fan of offensive shootouts in football, you're likely to be disappointed when the Steelers take on the Buffalo Bills Sunday. All indications are that this will be an extremely low-scoring affair.

The Bills come into the game with the NFL's third-best defense that is surrendering just 296 yards per game. That's even better than the Steelers' fifth-ranked defense, which is giving up 310 yard per game.

Such staunch defenses increase the chances that the game could be decided by the teams' two kickers. That would benefit the Steelers; the Bills Steven Hauschka is 18-of-24 on field goal attempts and 18-of-22 on extra points; Chris Boswell is 26-of-28 on field goal attempts and has made all 25 of his extra point attempts.

The playoff implications for the game are huge. Buffalo can virtually clinch the top wild card position with a victory, while the Steelers would be in the driver's seat for that top wild card slot with a win.
