The Pittsburgh Steelers' "Blunders" cost them dearly playing 5,280 feet above sea-level and coming out of the motel. Pittsburgh can ill afford to look back now as this one is in the books and you have to keep moving and in doing so stay with a positive mind-set as December Football for the Black and Yellow looks like they pissed off the schedule-maker during the off-season.
The Steelers behind a Xavier Grimble fumble at the goal line in the 1st frame, a James Connor "Fumblerooski" at the end of the 3rd and a I.N.T. in the Broncos end zone to end the game Pittsburgh has no one to blame but themselves.
The game plan cannot be moving forward Big Ben Roethlisberger 41 for 56 for 462 yards and a TD and an INT with the running attack totaling just 75 yards on sixteen carries (James Connor 13 carries 53 yards). Balance is what they need or 60/40 pass/rush and today was nearly 75/25 and that is not going to get it done.
Steelers WR Ju Ju Smith-Schuster continues to climb the ladder as one of the best young wide outs in the league with 189 yards on thirteen grabs including a 97-yard TD. That Pittsburgh "D" also has been good at getting off the field in 3rd downs and today it was situational football as they couldn't come up with that signature stop or turnover.
Denver give them credit they played solid and in order for a QB like Case Keenum to beat you he needs a run game. Broncos Rookie RB Phillip Lindsay stepped up with 110 yards on just fourteen carries and a score and yapping the whole time in doing so.
Case found former Steelers WR Emmanuel "Go Go" Sanders for seven grabs on 86 yards and a score. Keenum was 15 for 28 for 197 yards and two in the Steelers End Zone as he managed the game well and played mistake-free football. Look its not an upset this same team beat then the 7-2 Chargers in L.A. last week and the Steelers have lost 4 straight in Denver going back that "Mile-High Miracle" dba QB Tim Tebow only completed pass of the night...Lol!
Now the plot thickens as Pittsburgh has those Chargers coming into Heinz next Sunday and games with the Patriots, Saints, Bengals and Raiders after that. I see at worst 10-5-1 or 11-4-1 as the Steelers are at New Orleans and nothing is impossible but "Reality" sets in just looking at that one on the menu!
Note: Steelers O-Line allowed just two Red Jersey Collections and that was awesome from the "Hogs" up front...
