Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Denver Broncos

The NFL is a more interesting place when the Pittsburgh Steelers are beefing with an AFC North rival.

What they knew was that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, always has been a hard-earned sack. “We know if we can get stops against them in practice, we can get stops against anybody”.

“Obviously, we didn’t protect our quarterback very well, especially in the game last week”, said Kubiak.

The Giants are in a three-way tie atop the mediocre NFC East, but face a tougher schedule than does either Washington or Philadelphia.

The bright side: This game did do a lot of good for charity as all of this money is donated to charity by the National Football League at the end of the season. What stood out in the game was Ben’s ability to dominate with Antonio Brown being held to only six catches for 51 while being blanketed by Richard Sherman. But Russell Wilson has more than taken up the slack, with 16 touchdown passes and no interceptions in the past four weeks. He’s actually the second best target though. There has to be a better way for the National Football League to handle its business. They are more susceptible on the road, allowing 218 yards but that is still absurdly effective. Pittsburgh are also trying to extend their advantage over division rivals the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns who are having poor seasons at the moment. Denver will never be able to establish a running game, and they just won’t be able to put up enough of points to come out on top. Brock Osweiler was unable to compete due to the regularity of Khalil Mack sacking him.

The Broncos will have their hands full in this one, despite the success they’ve had on defense this year. Osweiler’s current quarterback rating is 85, while Manning bottomed out with a 67.

On the Broncos first play on their next drive, Osweiler would hit Sanders deep for a 61 yard touchdown.

OK, that’s not the most incendiary thing you’ll read, trash talk-wise, when it comes to the Steelers. When we watch the Broncos game live streaming or on TV, Denver’s defense could be the deciding factor. If Pittsburgh fails to get it going on the ground, the aerial matchup could definitely be won by Denver. The pick was also the 12th time this year Pittsburgh ended a goal-to-go situation on defense with something other than a touchdown. “They have guys playing at a high level at every position”. We saw that in their contest against the Seahawks, where they scored 30 points in Seattle. It will be interesting to see if the Broncos defense has what it takes to slow down the Steelers offense.

NEW YORK | The NFL fined five players from the Steelers-Bengals game last weekend a total of $118,649.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is a bit of an enigma. Either way, it should be an incredible game.
