Divisional Playoff – Defense cuts down high-flying Steelers
Pittsburgh entered the Divisional Playoff as the AFC’s top passing offense, having already beaten the Denver Broncos in Week 15. Ben Roethlisberger was without his top target, Antonio Brown (out with a concussion), but still passed for over 300 yards. The Denver defense punished receivers like Martavis Bryant all night, though, and kept the Pittsburgh wideouts out of the end zone. Five Brandon McManus field goals and C.J. Anderson touchdown were enough to seal a win for the Broncos. Final Score: Steelers 16, Broncos 23.
