ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Shaun Suisham made a 41-yard field goal with 2:14 left in overtime to secure the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 19-16 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Buffalo (2-9) blew an opportunity to win it with 10:30 left in overtime. Wide receiver Stevie Johnson got in behind the Steelers secondary but dropped a 40-yard pass on the run, while he was 2 yards into the end zone.

The Bills overcame a 13-point first-half deficit and forced overtime with 2 seconds left in regulation when Rian Lindell hit a 49-yard field goal.

Rashard Mendenhall had 151 yards rushing and scored a 1-yard touchdown, while Suisham hit all four field-goal attempts, including a 48-yarder in a game the Steelers (8-3) never trailed. The decisive field goal capped a 13-play, 58-yard drive in a game both teams had chances to win.
