Broncos hand Steelers their fourth-consecutive loss of season

Sure, the Broncos did suffer a huge loss to the Ravens, but they should be able to rebound against a Steelers team that has not won a game since their upset over the Buffalo Bills in Week 1.  Even so, it will not be an easy victory.

The game will all hinge upon the status of Bridgewater. If he is out and Lock gets the start, he will need to eliminate the mistakes that plagued him in his sophomore season. It does not help that the Steelers run defense is solid and could very well limit the production of both Gordon and Williams.

Yet, we can not gloss over the fact that Roethlisberger is playing some of the worst football in his career right now. Pair that with a non-existent running game that will struggle against the Broncos, and that will very well lead the AFC West team to victory.

Final Score: Denver 20, Pittsburgh 14
