Broncos vs. Steelers

For the third consecutive game, the Broncos will match up against a team fresh off its bye week.

This time around, it's the defending Super Bowl champions -- the Pittsburgh Steelers -- on Monday Night Football at INVESCO Field at Mile High.

"(Pittsburgh) is a very physical team in every phase," Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. "To me, that is where it starts with the Steelers. Every one of their players plays like that. I don't care if it is the kickoff returner, the kicker, the tight ends, the lines, whomever it is, (quarterback Ben) Roethlisberger, they are all physical players that play tough and are going to present that challenge to us individually and as a team collectively."

So the team will head back home for the first time since Week 5, and try to come out of a clash with the defending NFL champions with a 7-1 record. Read more about it here.
