The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off their 2021 season with a key conference win, earning a 23-16 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Down 10-0 at halftime, Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers found more success in the second half to earn a come-from-behind road win at Highmark Stadium. The Pittsburgh defense was especially impressive, holding last year’s No. 2 scoring offense to just six points in the second half.
Pittsburgh’s special teams did their part as well with a blocked punt returned for a touchdown that extended the lead in the fourth quarter:

Buffalo had a pair of field-goal drives down the stretch, but it wasn’t enough to pull out the win.
Josh Allen was held to just one passing touchdown as the Bills struggled offensively. It’s an early setback for a team considered a top Super Bowl contender entering the season.
What’s Next?
The Steelers will have their first home game in Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Bills will go on the road next week for a divisional battle against the Miami Dolphins.
