Antonio Brown doesn’t have a lot of quiet games, but will he be silenced tonight when the Pittsburgh Steelers face the Denver Broncos? The score came three plays after Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier intercepted Brock Osweiler at the Broncos’ 37-yard line.
Be sure to tune in to the Steelers Final Score, the BTSC call-in show following the game.
Pittsburgh ran out the clock. On Saturday night the Cowboys hosted the New York Jets, and although the game went right down to the wire, Dallas were yet again on the wrong side of a tight result to leave them lagging on 4-10 and out of the Playoff picture. We were making mental mistakes and physical mistakes. “We’ll have to play as good as we can play, we know that”. Brown is the only player since 1970 to have two 15-catch games in the same season….
“I never want to get hit or knocked around”, said Roethlisberger. By switching up looks for Brown with a physical corner in Talib, then having Harris take his turn with his quickness, the Broncos will have their best chance to win if they can shut down one of the best receivers in the league. “We needed to tackle better”.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for 380 yards and three touchdowns as the Steelers rallied for a 34-27 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. First, if you give Pittsburgh’s passing game any window of opportunity, they’ll take it, torch you with it, and ask you how you liked it later. But that’s a tougher call than many might think-Osweiler hasn’t been lights-out, but he’s proven that he runs head coach Gary Kubiak’s offense better than Manning could, and Manning was a fairly epic disaster at times before multiple injuries finally took him out of the equation. DeAngelo Williams, though, hasn’t seemed to miss a beat as his replacement and Big Ben is playing like a giant. “I just don’t think we executed the same way in the second half”.
Wilson was 21 of 30 for 249 yards.
The Broncos built a 20-7 lead early in the second quarter and led 27-13 at halftime. He injured his left – non-throwing – shoulder late in the second quarter and was briefly replaced by rookie quarterback Trevor Siemian before returning to the game.
Emmanuel Sanders caught 10 passes for 181 yards and a score in his first game against his former team.
The Broncos and Steelers are both top-six teams in rushing yards allowed per game (Denver is No. 3 at 84.3 and Pittsburgh is No. 6 at 88.3). It was the first touchdown Harris had given up since November 2013. Through the air Pittsburgh has struggled to stop opponents, Osweiler and Demaryius Thomas will have to put up big games to hang around in this one. Brown finished with 16 catches for 189 yards and two touchdowns on the day.
