Bills quarterback Josh Allen is set for a little more preseason work this weekend. The team announced that they plan to play Allen and the team’s other healthy starters for about a quarter and a half against the Steelers on Saturday night. That’s about the same as they played last week against the Bears, although the team notes that forecasted rain could change their plans.

MECHANICSVILLE, Maryland - Chase Sexton crashed in both motos but still had the speed to win his fifth consecutive overall victory. Hunter Lawrence had the overall in sight, but with a scoop tire, he was unable to keep Sexton at bay. Despite earning the same number of points as Sexton, he was scored third overall.

Allen did not participate in Saturday's 9-3 preseason win over the Steelers. Allen was set to play well into the second quarter along with the entire starting offense. While most of the unit did take the field, Allen remained on the sideline in a ball cap with no pads. No official reason was given, but Buffalo likely pivoted its plans due to wet field conditions after rain came through Pittsburgh just before kickoff. As one of the most proven quarterbacks in the league, Allen doesn't necessarily need to appear in preseason action, though he does have a remade receiving corps. That could mean that he plays at least a few possessions in the team's final preseason contest next Saturday against Carolina.

ClutchPoints

Teams do not usually have much incentive to play their starters for an extended period of time in a preseason game. The risks often outweigh the benefits, especially if the squad in question has won its division in four consecutive years. Some extra reps could help the Buffalo Bills, however, as they look to fix some of the many mistakes they made in last week's 33-6 beatdown by the Chicago Bears.

Bills to get long look at Josh Allen, starters in Week 2 of preseason

The Pittsburgh Steelers faced another disappointing performance against the Buffalo Bills, suffering a 9-3 loss that left them 0-2 in the preseason. Key players like Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton showed promise, but overall execution remained poor. Russell Wilson's offensive line struggles marred his debut, while the running game provided little spark. The team now looks to address these issues ahead of their final preseason game.

A new chapter in the Buffalo Bills preseason is here and we can finally turn away from the Week 1 disaster against the Chicago Bears.

The Olympics are coming to Los Angeles in four years. When that happens, flag football will be an official event, for the first time ever. That development has caused plenty of NFL players to propose horning in on the action. A recent promo had Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts throwing a flaming ball over the cauldron at the top of the L.A. Coliseum.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is doubtful to return versus the Buffalo Bills with a hamstring injury.
Warren caught a check-down pass by Russell Wilson and was engulfed by the Bills. Shortly after, Warren spent time in the blue medical tent before walking to the locker room.
It’s a good sign that Warren walked and wasn’t carted off. Sidelining him could’ve just been precautionary, but it’s worth monitoring.
Mike Tomlin could have an update after the game, but we likely won’t know more until next week.
