5 bold predictions for the Steelers in Week 14 vs. the Bills

Here are five bold predictions for the Steelers vs the Bills in week 14

While the Steelers suffered their first loss of the season last week, they can’t focus on that loss first too long, as the Bills pose a tough opponent this week. That said, a lot of the bold predictions from last week ended up rearing their ugly head, aiding in the final outcome of the game.

This week, there are a new group of bold predictions that will likely affect the final outcome of this week. All of this said, here are five bold predictions for the Steelers vs the Bills this week.

Conner doesn’t fix the run game

Much has been said about the miserable run game over the past few weeks, but there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel. James Conner, the Steelers best overall back, returns to action this week. While many are expecting him to be a fix-all solution, it seems likely that the game still has its issues. While Conner should be a breath of fresh air, there are issues that go far beyond the actual running back.

The Steelers have been keen on passing the ball recently, only allowing their running backs to carry it few and far between. Assuming they dedicate more plays to the run this week (something they really need to do), it still doesn’t mean the run blocking will suddenly improve. Yes, Conner should do better than the backups have fared, but he was suffering from these same issues before he was put on the COVID list. These running issues aren’t simple fixes, and Conner likely won’t completely revolutionize this backfield.
