Pittsburgh restaurant sends Buffalo Bills sandwiches after helping the Steelers reach the NFL play-offs

Christmas may have come and gone, but the Buffalo Bills received a special gift this week.

After the Bills helped the Pittsburgh Steelers reach the NFL play-offs, a restaurant in Pittsburgh showed how grateful they were by sending 80 sandwich kits to upstate New York.

Buffalo confirmed on Twitter on Tuesday that they had received the package from Primanti Brothers, a well-known restaurant chain in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers found themselves locked in a race for a wild-card spot in the play-offs with the New York Jets heading into the final week of the regular-season.

But for Pittsburgh to make it in, they needed to not only win their game against the Cleveland Browns, but for the Jets to lose at the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. 

The Steelers took care of their side of the bargain, beating the Browns 28-12 in Ohio and the Buills delivered against the Jets too, winning that match 22-17.

That means that this week the Steelers are preparing for a play-off match against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Jets' season is over, and the Bills will have full bellies.
