Aaron Rodgers sat out last week.
He's got a small fracture in his left wrist. That led to a Mason Rudolph start, and while the backup QB played well, the Steelers came up just a little bit short.
Now on Sunday, Pittsburgh has a big opportunity. At 6-5, the Steelers have inched ahead of the 6-6 Ravens for first place in the AFC North after Baltimore lost on Thursday night to the Bengals.
If Pittsburgh can beat the Buffalo Bills, it'll take better control of first place in the division.
So the availability of Rodgers could be crucial for what the Steelers are able to do in the postseason picture.

Is Aaron Rodgers playing today?
Yes, Rodgers will be playing Sunday for the Steelers against the Bills for the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
Rodgers didn't take part in Wednesday's practice, but he returned to be a full participant on both Thursday and Friday.
The Steelers didn't even give Rodgers an injury designation.
Rudolph will slide back into his backup role. Rodgers resumes his duty as QB1.

The Bills and Josh Allen will oppose Rodgers in a matchup of two former MVP quarterbacks.
It's got the potential to be quite fun.
