at Pittsburgh (Week 2)

Ah, the Broncos travel to Pittsburgh for a week 2 matchup against the team they famously beat in a 2011 overtime playoff game with Tim Tebow at quarterback.

Except, a lot has changed since then. The Broncos no longer have Tebow, nor Demaryius Thomas, and the Steelers no longer have Hines Ward but still have Big Ben Roethlisberger.

The Steelers have two offensive weapons in receiver Juju Smith-Schuster and running back James Conner. Both are tremendous threats and could be real problems for the Denver Broncos. Specifically Smith-Schuster. The Broncos need to prove that their defense can get on the same page fast and whoever is tasked with covering Smith-Schuster is going to really have to step up.
