The Bills are coming off an undeniable wake-up call that center Connor McGovern called a “punch in the mouth” in their 33-6 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 1 of the preseason. The Bills struggled to control the line of scrimmage, and managed just two field goals while backup quarterbacks Mitchell Trubisky and Shane Buechele were sacked a combined eight times.

Buechele is expected to miss extended time following the game due to a neck injury, and the Bills have signed former Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci as a result. Now the Bills look ahead to their showdown with the Steelers, who fell 20-12 to the Texans in their preseason opener. Last time the Bills and Steelers clashed, Buffalo eliminated Pittsburgh from the 2023-24 NFL postseason in the Wild Card round.

Here’s how to tune in on Saturday.
