It’s a snowy Sunday in Buffalo and the Steelers have taken an early lead.

Le’Veon Bell ground his way to a three-yard touchdown with six minutes left in the first quarter to cap the second Steelers trip into the red zone with their first score of the afternoon. Bell’s score was set up by a 40-yard pass down the sideline to Antonio Brown and an 18-yard gain by tight end Ladarius Green on a third down that took the ball to the 11-yard-line.

The Steelers’ first drive saw Bell take a dump-off from Ben Roethlisberger for 32 yards to move into scoring position, but Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander jumped in front of a pass and returned it to midfield to thwart the Steelers’ hopes.

Buffalo’s offense was off the field quickly, however, and Pittsburgh made their second good drive pay off.
