After winning Week 1 of the preseason, the Bills lost 27-15 to the Steelers last week. The big battle to watch will be for the team’s backup quarterback position, as Kyle Allen was 12-for-15 passing with a touchdown last week while Matt Barkley threw for three touchdown passes. Latavius Murray ran for 26 yards as well and could get some more run at running back.
