3. Brown catches two touchdown passes of more than 50 yards

As crushing as it was to watch the Buffalo Bills come up short last weekend against the Baltimore Ravens, Sean McDermott’s team still has plenty to be proud of since losing by seven points shows they have what it takes to compete with the best of teams.

In fact, if the Bills do hang on for a playoff spot in the AFC, and they happen to get a second meeting with the Ravens in January, the results could go the other way.

But before Buffalo can focus on what may happen in the playoffs, the main focus at the moment is on Sunday’s meeting with another team hanging on to a postseason spot as well in the Pittsburgh Steelers.

All hope seemed lost for the Steelers at the beginning of the season when they got off to a 1-4 start, but Mike Tomlin has found a way to help this team turn things around, and become one of the top threats within the AFC.

Since the AFC North is out of reach, Pittsburgh realizes their only chance at the playoffs will be through one of the Wild Card spots, meaning they’re going to be motivated to come through again with the Bills in town.

In order for Buffalo to be in the best position possible to earn a win in Pittsburgh, Josh Allen is going to need all of the extra help possible from his weapons on offense, including John Brown in the passing game.

With Brown’s quickness, if Allen were to connect with him on a few deep balls to catch the Steelers off guard, this could give the Bills a much better chance at winning on the road.
