Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos
4:30 pm EST
Pittsburgh failed to win the AFC North and must travel to the AFC West champion broncos who backed into the playoffs at 8-8 thanks to an Oakland loss. Tim Tebow has struggled the last 2 weeks specifically with a completion percentage of under 50% and now must face one of the top defenses in the NFL.
however Pittsburgh has problems of their own. Starting RB Rashard Mendenhall blew out his knee and is gone for the year and QB Ben Roethlisberger has a bothersome high ankle sprain and has struggled to move around the last couple weeks.
Pittsburgh enters as the 5th seed, Denver is the 4th seed
due to Denver's struggles on offense to put up points the last 3 weeks against tepid opponents oddsmakers have Pittsburgh as strong favorites even on the road. Pittsburgh faced a bad offense 2 weeks ago and shutout St. Louis. it was their 2nd shutout of the year.
