The Denver Broncos have lost back-to-back games just twice since the 2012 season.

Both teams are trying to qualify for the coming postseason with Denver needing one more win to do so while the Steelers are still in the hunt to take the wild card route. “If they want to come at me, good”, said cornerback Bradley Roby, who figures to be a target for Big Ben’s powerful right arm. We respect him, their weapons and what they’re capable of doing within their system of offense.
Roethlisberger has been sacked six times combined in those five games, a total that would have been about a game-and-a-half’s worth in previous seasons.
Notes: Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on facing Brock Osweiler instead of Peyton Manning: “I just know he’s a talented guy”.
The Broncos are not only No. 1 overall, but No. 1 against the pass and No. 2 against the rush.
Linebacker Vince Williams insists the defense is “definitely up” on the season. They shut down the Raiders’ top two receivers, Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper.
With Brown covered, Markus Wheaton exploded for a career day nine catches for 201 yards and a score.
When it comes to the run game, Denver ranks third in yards allowed and is tied for 11th in rushing touchdowns given up, with eight. Here are three keys to a Steelers’ victory this weekend. According to Attar, the league saw what Burfict had been alleging: that he was pushed into the quarterback while he was attempting a pass rush.
The defense has to maintain the balance of getting after the quarterback and creating turnovers. They need no endorsement from me.
Still, Brown is the Steelers’ true No. 1 receiver and one of the NFL’s best. They have great balance.
RG: “They’re playing complimentary football”.
Pittsburgh’s trio has 170 catches for 2,658 yards and 16 touchdowns.
Brown torched Oakland with 17 receptions for 284 yards.

Clearly the National Football League agreed with Roethlisberger when they reviewed the play and the thought that Burfict’s intent was to injure. It’s not about one player.
Longtime Steeler Heath Miller is still the team’s tight end, and the 33-year-old remains as steady and consistent as ever. “He’s not being sacked as much … it’s hard to get him down, he’ll just throw you off and go ahead and make a play”. They’re throwing it all over the place. But, I ask you, “Is that such a bad thing?” “They’re getting it down the field”.
“I haven’t found out yet”, Roethlisberger said, via denverbroncos.com. “I’ve got nothing but love for Ben”.

So, Roby said, may the best trio win. “So, it will be fun”. “You’re going to have a lot of opportunities to get interceptions”. We got to talking about the State of the Steelers and what she thinks will happen during the game between the two teams. What I am saying is, as a fan, why wouldn’t you want these guys on your team? A couple of weeks ago, LB Corey Nelson and WR Cory Latimer were similarly absent.
