Bills At Steelers Preview & Bold Predictions

Bills At Steelers Preview & Bold Predictions

Author: Blue Wire November 29, 2025 Duration: 45:09

It's a bonus Saturday episode on today's Talking Buffalo, as Patrick Moran is previewing a Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers matchup on Sunday that's very important for both teams and as always includes three keys to a Buffalo victory, five bold predictions for the game and a final score prediction & guess.

Injuries have been a factor for the Bills all season long and perhaps at no point are they feeling that more than this week against a Steelers team in badly in need of a win as Buffalo. For the first time in a long time and perhaps his entire career, Josh Allen will be without both his starting tackles due to injury in a game as Dion Dawkins (concussion) and Spencer Brown have both been ruled out. That injured list also includes middle linebacker Terrell Bernard already ruled out and a handful of other guys questionable. Patrick talks about the injuries especially on the offensive and while it's unquestionably demoralizing and will hamper some of the things the offense may be able to to do, there is one silver lining worth explaining.

After some thoughts on how the Buffalo lineup may look with roster moves and practice squad elevations and spending time talkin about a Pittsburgh team with a lot of star power but not ranking very well on either side of the ball, Patrick gets into his three biggest keys to a Bills win, with the biggest a continuation of the dead horse he's been beating all week about the offense avoiding the turnovers that've killed them in previously losses this year.

Then it's time for five bold predictions and stuck to find five, Patrick enlists the help of his wife to come up with two.  That's followed by a prediction for a game and Patrick deliberates if he's going to go with his heart or his head for who leaves this game victorious. That plus Christmas season has arrived even for the holdouts and much more.
