Steelers Fall To Bills

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Josh Allen threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Kroft with 7:55 to play and the Buffalo Bills clinched a playoff spot, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-10. The Bills secured their second playoff berth in three seasons under coach Sean McDermott, a college teammate with Steelers coach Mike Tomlin at William & Mary. Buffalo trailed 10-7, but scored on two possessions in the fourth quarter, as Allen rallied the Bills for a comeback win for the fifth time this season. Needing the offense to win the game, the Steelers and quarterback Devlin Hodges misfired, as he was intercepted twice in the end zone in the final two minutes of the game. The Steelers hope the struggles can be a learning experience for a young and inexperienced group of skill position players. Hodges was intercepted four times in the game, tripling his career total and set a new career low with a 43.9 passer rating.
