If there is one thing that I noticed about the Denver Broncos defense against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s that they like to play aggressively against the pass, both in the secondary and along the front seven. In spite of the fact that they have a very talented group of both edge and interior rushers, they not only like to bring numbers, they also like to blitz.
By my estimation, the Broncos blitzed on just about half of Ben Roethlisberger’s drop backs. But it only produced one of their three sacks, which came on a five-man rush and included a straight overmatch of the left tackle.
