Summary
The Broncos jumped on the Steelers early with a very balanced attack but mostly through the air with young quarterback Jay Cutler. After the Steelers scored the first touchdown of the game on their first possession, the Broncos took control of the game, rolling to a 21-7 first half lead. It proved to be too much for the Steelers to overcome despite their dominance in the second half which led to a 28-28 tie. The defense couldn't hold the Broncos as they drove down the field with minutes left to kick the winning field goal.
