In the most recent matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos, the Steelers came away with a hard-fought victory. The final score was a close 19-12 win for Pittsburgh, a result that continues their trend of dominance in one-possession games under Coach Mike Tomlin. The Steelers have now won their 100th one-possession game, a remarkable feat that sets them apart from other teams in the league. This win also marked a defensive victory, as the Steelers’ defense limited the Broncos to just one touchdown through the first two games of the season.
The match saw the Steelers’ offense struggle in the passing game, with QB Kenny Pickett throwing for just 110 yards on 13 completions out of 20 attempts. On the ground, however, Pittsburgh was effective, running for 141 yards on 36 attempts, led by Najee Harris who contributed significantly to their rushing attack.
Defensively, the Steelers continued their strong start to the season, with players like Cam Heyward registering three quarterback hits. Their defense has been particularly strong in limiting top receivers; in this game, they kept Broncos’ wide receiver Courtland Sutton to just one reception for 20 yards.
This victory was the Steelers’ second in a row to start the 2024 season, and it underscored the importance of their defensive strategy and strong rushing game. Looking ahead, the Steelers will aim to continue their momentum with a solid team performance that balances both offensive and defensive strengths.
