Broncos at Steelers: Full highlights and recap
Highlights and recap of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos.
The Pittsburgh Steelers trailed the Denver Broncos 27-10 in the first half, only to come screaming back. Denver, which has the best defense in the National Football League, could not stop Pittsburgh and its incredible offensive attack. The Steelers are nothing short of a juggernaut at times, and they may have saved their season on Sunday.
Highlights
It's been over two years since Chris Harris allowed a TD.

Three Stars
1. Ben Roethlisberger
Roethlisberger has been nothing short of sensational when healthy this season. On Sunday, against Denver’s tough secondary, Roethlisberger went off for 380 yards with three touchdowns, albeit with two interceptions including a ludicrous one in the final tow minutes. However, Roethlisberger was the sole reason Pittsburgh stayed alive.
2. Antonio Brown
Brown caught a game-high 16 passes for 189 yards with two touchdowns. Brown has proven to be one of the best receivers in the game, if not the best. He was torching Chris Harris Jr. throughout the night, one of the best cover corners in the league.
3. Emmanuel Sanders
Sanders caught 10 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown, including a 61-yard bomb. Denver would have been outmanned without Sanders, with Demaryius Thomas and the rest of the receivers having brutal games. Sanders beat up on his former team all game long.
Odds
Pittsburgh was favored by nine points and did not cover the spread against Denver.
Next Week
The Steelers are on the road to take on the Baltimore Ravens while the Broncos come home to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
