The first half was mostly a punt fest as both defenses dominated.

The first series that ended on something other than a punt came when the Steelers' Cam Heyward grazed Allen's arm at his release point, resulting in Mike Hilton's interception.

That didn't lead to any points, but a couple turnovers in the second quarter did.

When the Bills' Dawson Knox bobbled the ball trying to catch a pass, Cam Sutton grabbed it for an interception at the Buffalo 30-yard line. That led to Roethlisberger's 19-yard scoring pass to Washington, who cut back toward the middle of the end zone to get open for a 7-0 Steelers' lead.

Tyler Bass' 34-yard field goal pulled Buffalo within 7-3 with 1:42 left in the half.

In a key play for Buffalo, Taron Johnson stepped in front of Smith-Schuster for an interception and a 51-yard touchdown return. Bass missed the extra point, giving the Bills a 9-7 lead 52 seconds before halftime.

Buffalo opened the second half with an eight-play, 68-yard drive ending with Allen's 19-yard touchdown pass to Diggs for a 16-7 lead.

Allen found Davis at the far left side of the end zone from 13 yards to push it to 23-7.

In the fourth quarter, the Steelers drove 81 yards in 10 plays and pulled to within 23-15 on Smith-Schuster's 3-yard touchdown catch and Roethlisberger's two-point conversion pass to Eric Ebron.

Bass' 23-yard field goal made it more comfortable for the Bills at 26-15 with 8:07 left.

Levi Wallace's interception ended Pittsburgh's subsequent possession, and the Bills ran out the clock.
