Steelers-Bills NFL Week 5: What You Need To Know

PITTSBURGH, PA — The odds are stacked against the Steelers Sunday as they travel to Buffalo to face the intimidating Buffalo Bills. Oddmakers have pegged them as two-touchdown underdogs.

Kenny Pickett makes his debut as the Steelers quarterback after playing the second half last week in relief of faltering Mitch Trubisky. Pickett scored two rushing touchdowns, but also threw three interceptions - the second of which led to the Jets' winning TD.

Could it be a long afternoon Sunday? Quite possibly. But the Steelers had to take the wrapping off of their first-round draft choice, and as the team appears to be going nowhere this season Pickett might as well get some experience.
