It's now official. The Pittsburgh Steelers will be the 7th seed in the playoffs, and they will head to Buffalo to play the Bills at 1pm on Sunday. The Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night football to lock up the AFC East title for the fourth consecutive year in a row. The loss drops the Dolphins to the sixth seed. They will head to Kansas City to play the Chiefs on Saturday night.

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman, Broderick Jones (#77) sets up at the line of scrimmage and prepares to block during a 2023 preseason game against the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA.
The Steelers haven't played the Bills this year during the regular season, but they did see the Bills in the preseason at Acrisure Stadium. The Steelers won that game 27-15. Last year the Steelers traveled to Buffalo for Kenny Pickett's first career start. It wasn't a memorable game for the Steelers and Pickett as they would get blown out 38-3. Things are completely different this year, though. Pickett won't be starting; it'll be Mason Rudolph with Pickett as the primary back up.
