The Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills will finally play their AFC playoff game Monday, Jan. 15. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial).

Stefon Diggs can’t speak to how Buffalo’s opening-round playoff opponent, the Steelers, turned around their season and secured the AFC’s seventh and final playoff berth on the final weekend.

The receiver, though, can sure discuss witnessing the Bills’ resolve as they won their final five games to clinch their fourth straight AFC East title and the conference’s No. 2 seed.

Two teams that fired their offensive coordinators this season, continue dealing with major injury problems and were both written off a month ago will meet on Sunday with snow in the forecast.

Buffalo (11-6) is the hottest team entering the playoffs following a late-season push that began after it squandered leads in the final minute of regulation and overtime in 37-34 loss at Philadelphia on Nov. 26.

Pittsburgh (10-7) endured a three-game skid before winning its final three games, capped by a 17-10 victory at Baltimore, which rested many of its starters with the AFC’s top seed already clinched.

The Steelers’ run coincides with Mason Rudolph replacing Kenny Pickett at quarterback.

The fourth-year player, who had 10 career starts entering this season, settled the Steelers’ offense by going 53 of 71 for 716 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the three victories. The Steelers’ ground game improved, with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren combining for 444 yards rushing and five TDs during those games.

The 28-year-old Rudolph is 8-4-1 as an NFL starter. His previous postseason experience came in college, when he led Oklahoma State to a 30-21 win over Virginia Tech in the 2017 Camping World Bowl.

Buffalo and Pittsburgh play at 3:30 p.m. (8:15 p.m. ET) on Monday, Jan. 15.
