Josh Allen and the Bills welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers to Buffalo this Sunday in a battle between AFC rivals.

The Bills are coming off of their biggest comeback win since 2011 last week against the Ravens. They trailed 20-3 late in the first half before storming back to win 23-20 on a soggy afternoon in Baltimore. Allen bounced back from a rough start to finish with 283 total yards and 2 touchdowns (one passing, one rushing) to offset 1 interception.

It was an important victory for Buffalo after dropping a close game to Miami in Week 3, in which Allen threw for 400 yards but couldn't find the end zone in the second half. Despite having to deal with a banged-up defense, they remain betting favorites to win the Super Bowl after moving to 3-1 on the season.

The Steelers, meanwhile, are facing a quarterback conundrum. 

Starter Mitchell Trubisky was benched at halftime in Pittsburgh's Week 4 game against the Jets, with rookie Kenny Pickett coming on to replace him. The former Pitt Panthers QB provided an offensive spark with 135 total yards and 2 touchdowns in the second half, but he also tossed 3 interceptions as the Steelers fell to a deflating 24-20 loss. 

Now, the Steelers are expected to name Pickett the starter vs. the Bills.

"I think he did some good things," Tomlin said. "I thought there was some energy there."

The Steelers have slumped to a 1-3 start to the campaign, and a road trip to Buffalo will be the toughest test they've faced yet. 

Will the Bills take care of business to move to 4-1? Or will the Steelers pull off an upset to get their season back on track?
