After losing to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs last season, Josh Allen and the Bills will have the grit between their teeth in 2021. Getting so close to a Super Bowl appearance, only to fall short at the final hurdle.

For Big Ben Roethlisberger, after a great start to the season in 2020 as the Steelers went 11-0, they crumbled somewhat and stumbled into the playoffs only to lose to division rivals Cleveland Browns. The Steelers would want to start the new season with a win.
