It has been a crazy six days for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

This time a week ago, the team didn't even know if they were going to be in the playoffs, much less vs. who and where. 

And after a change in day and time that swayed the advantage back in Buffalo's direction, a deeper dive proves Pittsburgh has history on their side ahead of Wildcard Weekend:

Precedent In A Rare Situation

The Pittsburgh Steelers won that game 18-16 on the backs of Le'Veon Bell and Chris Boswell, with Bell accounting for 170 yards on the ground and Boswell making six field goals to give Pittsburgh all of their points in bad conditions. 

Well, I don't know about you, but that sets the Steelers up for a Deja Vu-like situation on Monday in Buffalo. 

Sure Pittsburgh's current offense doesn't have a prime Big Ben, AB, and L Bell, but they have one of the better backfield tandems in the league and will look to establish themselves similar to how Bell did in that contest. 

Oh, and yeah they still have one of the best kickers in the league via Boswell. Expect him to play a major role should Pittsburgh pull out the upset.
