Denver’s offense showed it’s weaknesses last week against an over-rated Baltimore defense. Now they have to face one of the best defenses in the NFL. Bronco’s quarterback Kyle Orton simply isn’t able to stretch the field and put fear into opposing secondaries. Head coach Josh McDaniels has been able to shield his flaws, but he wasn’t able to do that last week against the Ravens. I look for him to struggle mightily against Pittsburgh’s defense. The Steelers are down three players tonight on defense, but I still think they will be able to shut down Denver’s offense. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh doesn’t have a big play offense. They prefer to run the ball and use smaller passes to generated offense. In fact, several games their offense has sputtered for most of the 1st half, until they decide to finally open things up with the clock winding down. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger loves to hold onto the ball and wait for receivers to get open. However, that approach won’t work very well against a Broncos defense that has been very good at sacking the quarterback this year. Denver’s defense has also played better at home with the emotion of the crowd. Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan is great at developing strategies to shut down opposing offenses, and their defense has been dominant in the 2nd half. Look for this game to be a low scoring slugfest.
