The Steel Curtain lives!
Denver actually owns a 14-8-1 edge over the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers, all-time. That’s interesting.
More interesting is that Pittsburgh finished the 2017 season with the third-ranked offense in the NFL and the fifth-ranked defense. That’s good football. Ben Roethlisberger put up 4,250 yards, Le’Veon Bell added nearly 1,300 rushing. If you’re looking for a dropoff in the Steeler receivers, I give you Antonio Brown and 1,533 yards receiving.
This game should be strength-on-strength, the vaunted Broncos defense against the outrageous Steelers offense. By any measure this is a tough game. Advantage Denver at Mile High.
