Week 7 - Broncos @ Steelers

Week 7 - Broncos39 @ Steelers 12

In an apparent matchup of two of the premier defenses in the National Football League, the Denver defense would do battle with the Steel Curtain of Pittsburgh. Who would prevail: the terrific tandem of Ben Rothelisberger and Willie Parker, or the dynamic duo of Jay Cutler and Travis Henry?
