DENVER — The Pittsburgh Steelers stagger into Denver with an ailing Ben Roethlisberger, who won’t have his leading rusher or his top receiver against the league’s best defense Sunday.
So what?
The Steelers are deep even without All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown (concussion) and running back DeAngelo Williams (foot), and the Broncos insist Big Ben can go deep even with a sprained throwing shoulder.
The Broncos swear they won’t make the same mistake they did last year, either.
They were in this situation a year ago, coming off a bye and facing a banged-up opponent who was a big underdog.
