Best thing coaching could do is to tell Blake the game is in Denver and put him on a plane on Saturday night.
All Defense!
Their defense scares the bejeezzers out of me but if nothing else, at least the game is in Pittsburgh.

Even tho Manning isn't going to play Sunday, I think Ben is going to play lights out with Sanders comments fresh in his mind.

Their Def is good, but their Off is terrible . . . so even if their def cancels out our offense, our defense will cancel out their offense. This could be a very low scoring game lol. But I still think we put up 30pts.
I'm really not scared of the Broncos.
Their offense is bad. Osweiler has shown that he's not awful, but he's not all that good either. And if Manning is the #2 QB, he doesn't scare anyone anymore.
The defense is really good, but so is our offense. I don't think they'll be able to cover AB/Bryant/Wheaton/Miller and stop Williams.
Steelers 34 - Broncos 12

Elliot Harrison of NFL.com says that 51.3 percent of the passing yards Denver has allowed have been of the YAC variety -- the sixth highest percentage in the league.
That sounds ideal for AB even if he's going to be covered by Aqib Talib a good portion of the game. To me that also sounds like Martavis will struggle if the broncos use a lot of press coverage. He really needs to continue to work on his hand fighting and physicality in the offseason. Hope our checkdown game is ready to rock on Sunday. I'm predicting Deangelo to get a season high in receptions.
Steelers 24-23
It is the National late game on CBS. Only a couple parts of the country aren't getting it.

Easy for guys to talk smack when they aren't even playing. Just ask Pacman Jones.
Will Steelers WRs outrun Broncos?

When the Pittsburgh Steelers' second-ranked offense takes on the Denver Broncos' No. 1 defense on Sunday, everything comes down to timing.
How long can the Broncos' defensive backs be expected to stick with the Steelers' receiving corps in coverage? And how long can Ben Roethlisberger hold onto the ball before being exposed to Denver's pass rush?
Few teams are as fearless about going deep as the Steelers, who lead the league in completions of 40 yards or more with 19. Meanwhile, teams have been hesitant to take chances against the top-ranked pass defense, which has proven adept in creating turnovers.
With playoff positioning at stake, neither team is likely to back down from its strength on Sunday.
The Broncos are the rare team that has the depth at cornerback to counter the Steelers' receiving trio of Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant and Markus Wheaton. Yet even with two Pro Bowl candidates in Aqib Talib and Chris Harris, Denver can't be expected to blanket Pittsburgh throughout the game. A few explosive plays could be too much to overcome, especially for a Broncos offense that has gone seven consecutive quarters without a touchdown.
The battle up front between the Steelers' offensive line and the Broncos' pass rush could set the tempo that will determine how easily Pittsburgh can attempt downfield strikes. Roethlisberger has been sacked just 14 times in nine games, as his protection has allowed time for the deep passing game to develop.
But Denver's defense, which has a league-leading 44 sacks, could find the edge it needs if it can pressure Roethlisberger into mistakes. Despite his torrid pace in the last five games, Roethlisberger also has five interceptions in that span. Cutting drives short and setting Brock Osweiler up with good field position would be a large boost for the Broncos, though that game plan is more easily envisioned than executed.
