Week 2: Pittsburgh Steelers- Sayre Bedinger Follow @SayreBedinger

The Denver Broncos travel out to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers, in historically one of the top home-field advantage stadiums in the entire NFL.  That won’t be the case in 2020.  The Steelers won’t have the benefit of the black and gold faithful waving their Terrible Towels and making life tough on the young Denver Broncos’ offense.

For that reason, with the playing field evened, I think the Denver Broncos stand a chance in this very tough early regular season game.I  think the Broncos and Steelers will be close at halftime, something like 10-10 or maybe 13-10, but this game will be won by the team that turns the ball over less.

The Steelers led the NFL in that statistical category last season, and the Broncos struggled there. With no fans in the stands, could the script flip? This could be an early learning experience for the Broncos. I see Denver losing a tough one here.

Final Score: Broncos 21 Steelers 23
