The Broncos had been leaning on Peyton Manning all day, but when they needed them the most, C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman stepped up in a big way.
Following a fumble by the Steelers’ Fitzgerald Toussaint, the Broncos took the ball down the field behind the power of their run game, capitalizing with a 1-yard touchdown plunge from Anderson.
Nothing was going to stop C.J. Anderson from charging into the end zone.

That score gave them a five-point lead, and with Demaryius Thomas’ two-point conversion, the Broncos went up by seven with three minutes left in the game.
Now, it’ll be up to the Broncos defense to close the game out.
