We have all of your updates from today’s game between the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2.
The Denver Broncos will be looking to avoid an 0-2 start with as home win over the Pittsburgh Steelers today. Both teams struggled immensely on offense last week, but the Steelers defense and special teams carried them to a win while the Broncos defense and special teams could not. Whichever offense wakes up today will likely lead their team to victory in Week 2.
Kickoff is set for 2:25 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, September 15, 2024 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. You can watch the live stream of the game through FuboTV or on CBS. The game will be called by Spero Dedes (play-by-play), Adam Archuleta (analyst), and Aditi Kinkhabwala (sideline). You can also check local Broncos radio network affiliate stations as the game will air nationally on Sports USA.
Broncos vs. Steelers game predictions
To win this game, the Broncos must get their run game going and find consistency there. They’ll also need to keep Justin Fields contained on defense and stop the run. If they both of of those things, I think they win a close and low scoring game. We learned in Week 1 that Bo Nix will need time to adjust his game to the NFL.
Prediction: Broncos 16, Steelers 14.

#Broncos 4 carries for 6 yards
Steelers 15 carries for 82 yards— Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) September 15, 2024
Steelers right tackle Broderick Jones has been Broncos best defensive player on this series. Three penalties for 25 yards. Just negated huge pass play to Pickens.

Designed QB run for Bo Nix, and the Broncos move it into Pittsburgh territory.
Nix’s speed adds an element to Denver’s offense.

Marvin Mims with a catch!
He gets 8 on the play.
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 15, 2024
Broncos are putting.
Sean Payton thought about FG or punt for a long time then decided to punt.
Would have been a 57-yard FG
— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) September 15, 2024
After initially sending the punt unit out, Broncos now send the offense back out for fourth-and-7 from the 39-yard line.
— Aric DiLalla (@AricDiLalla) September 15, 2024
Pretty sure Mike Tomlin just baited Sean Payton into going for it on fourth-and-7.
And then they called that?
— Matt Schubert (@MattDSchubert) September 15, 2024
Pass behind the sticks on 4th down

SACK
ZACH ALLEN

Did Broncos fans watch Jayden Daniels this morning?
Quinn & Kingsbury treating their rookie QB a little different.
Marrying his college stuff to the NFL and letting the rookie rip it…
Hard to blame Bo for what’s going on in Denver through 6 quarters.
Might get better tho!
