In a disappointing preseason game, the Pittsburgh Steelers' first unit offense, led by Russell Wilson, failed to score against the Buffalo Bills, losing 9-3. Wilson completed 8 of 10 passes for 47 yards but faced significant pressure, resulting in three sacks. Justin Fields took over after Wilson and managed to lead the second unit to a field goal, showcasing his ability to extend plays with his legs and finishing with 92 passing yards and 42 rushing yards. Coach Mike Tomlin emphasized the need for improved pass protection moving forward.
