A mile high.
Five thousand, two hundred and eight feet. That’s how high above sea level Denver is.
It’s thin air. If you’re not used to it, it can be very taxing physically. For the Denver Broncos, it’s a real advantage playing at Empower Field at Mile High, where the Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to play on Sunday at 4:25 p.m.
For Steelers’ defensive stars Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt, that altitude and how taxing it is physically throughout a game from a conditioning standpoint is something they haven’t had to deal with since 2018.
