The Buffalo Bills managed a tough 26-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road to get themselves back on the winner's list.

Facing a second-and-three with three minutes left in the first half, Allen took off running, went to slide down, but was hit by Patrick Queen as he was sliding down to the ground, in what could have easily been an unnecessary roughness flag, but it wasn't forthcoming.
The Bills stood up for their quarterback with pushing and shoving ensuing as tempers flared.
But does Allen think that moment made the offense wake up?

This is a really good team that we just played with a fantastic defense, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, on the road, to find a win, it's what we came to do, and we were fortunate enough to do that."

Keon Coleman bounces back
The second-year receiver has been a healthy scratch for the past two weeks after being disciplined for reportedly being late to a team meeting, but in Pittsburgh, he got a reprieve.

No, his stats weren't huge, just two receptions for nine yards, but he did manage a touchdown grab to help power the Bills' offense to a dominant second-half performance.
It might only be a small thing, but now the hope is that Keon can use this as a springboard to better things for the rest of the season.
Because one thing is for sure, Buffalo will need him down the stretch.
