Make no bones about it, this loss falls on the Denver Broncos defense. They were given 27 points and a 14-point lead at halftime but allowed the Steelers to walk all over them in the second half. The good plays from the defense were so few in number in that second half, they can be counted on one hand. When reviewing the tape, it looked like they had a complete break down in fundamentals and technique, on top of looking like they had no direction whatsoever.
With that said, it is time to jump into the player grades.
