For the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers, Sunday’s matchup is huge. In the Broncos’ case, a win could solidify their chances at the No. 2 seed, while a loss would leave them in a position where they’re forced to fend off the AFC West title from the Kansas City Chiefs in the season’s final two weeks. For the Steelers, this game could go a long ways towards deciding their Wild Card fate.
While the rest of America will be tuning in to see how one of the NFL’s most high-powered offenses stacks up against the league’s best defense, fans in Denver and Pittsburgh will be biting their nails as their seasons hang in the balance. This game may not have the same level of importance as a playoff matchup, but it’s about as close as you can get.
And what makes this game all the more interesting is that nobody really knows what’s going to happen. Of course, that’s the case with all football games, but with this game, everything really is up in the air. What does happen when two immovable objects collide? Because from what we’ve seen, that’s what Pittsburgh’s offense and Denver’s defense have been.
All of which means that we are most definitely in need of some bold predictions:
