Michael Ojemudia

This is not to say that Michael Ojemudia was bad in his NFL debut, but he will need to be on his game this week.

The Steelers have James Conner banged up, even though he is expected to play this week, and all signs point to them trying to air it out against Denver. Without .A.J. Bouye, who was placed on injured reserve this week, the Broncos are going to need at least one cornerback to step up and make plays.

Even though Ojemudia will be playing in just his second NFL game, he should see a large amount of snaps. Roethlisberger will make the rookie prove himself, so look for him to throw his way often.

Ojemudia did hold his own in the game against the Titans,  but he also had a crucial pass interference penalty late in the game. He needs to be ready for the challenge and be up to the task in this one.
