Host John Boccacino is joined by co-host Jamie D'Amico to break down the Buffalo Bills (9-4) trip to face the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-5) on Sunday Night Football. Among the topics discussed: by now, the rest of the league knows the key to containing Josh Allen is to bring the pressure with a Cover-0 blitz scheme, which features blitzing safeties and more pass rushers than there are blockers. Allen will have another chance to show how well he can handle the pressure vs. T.J. Watt and a top-five Steelers' defense. Our podcasters expect more draws and wheel route passes to rookie Devin Singletary, more slant passes to Cole Beasley, and more deep and in routes to John Brown and Robert Foster. We discuss the health of the offensive line and the massive challenge facing rookie Cody Ford against Watt, who has 12.5 sacks this year for a Steelers defense that leads the league in sacks, QB hits, and takeaways. We also address what Buffalo needs to do to contain undrafted rookie QB Duck Hodges, how the Bills can scheme for RBs James Conner and Jaylen Samuels, what role Tremaine Edmunds will play, and the importance of Ed Oliver and Jerry Hughes getting after Hodges with the pass rush. We also give our score predictions!
