NFL Playoffs 2011-2012 – Watch Steelers vs Broncos Live Stream AFC Wild Card Playoff Game on CBS
AFC Wild Card Playoff – Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) vs Denver Broncos (8-8)
When: Sunday, 4:30 PM ET, January 8, 2012
Venue: Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, CO
AFC – Steelers-Broncos Preview
The defending AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers head into the playoffs with Ben Roethlisberger nursing a severely sprained left ankle and Rashard Mendenhall out with a torn ACL. Making matters worse for the AFC West champs, they also have to contend with the league’s best defense.
With the Steelers’ offense banged up, their defense looks to frustrate Tebow and the Broncos, who back into Sunday’s wild-card game in Denver on the heels of three straight losses.
Pittsburgh (12-4) lost Mendenhall, the team’s top rusher, late in the first quarter of last Sunday’s 13-9 win over Cleveland. The injury to his right knee leaves third-year running back Isaac Redman and rookie John Clay as the only healthy ball carriers on the roster.
After being the talk of the NFL while engineering amazing comebacks during Denver’s six-game winning streak, Tebow has seemingly lost his magic as his team hasn’t won since. He has four interceptions and two fumbles in the last two games, and is coming off a brutal performance in last Sunday’s 7-3 loss to Kansas City, misfiring on 16 of 22 passes and throwing for 60 yards with a pick for a 20.6 QB rating.
