For the second week in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers' first-unit offense failed to put any points on the board as the team dropped Saturday night's preseason game to the Buffalo Bills 9-3. This time, though, Russell Wilson -- making his preseason debut -- led the unit to its scoreless outing in five series, while Justin Fields' unit mustered only a field goal in five series of its own. Wilson, 35, completed 8 of 10 attempts for 47 yards over five series. But the starting offensive line gave up three sacks in the first three series for a loss of 21 yards, and the unit picked up only one first down while averaging a paltry 1.6 yards per play. "We didn't do a good enough job of protecting the quarterback," coach Mike Tomlin said. "We've got to do a better job in pass protection than we did -- not only in possession downs but just in general.
