Steelers History: A Look at the 2006 AFC Title Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Denver Broncos this Sunday having lost four of their last five games against Denver. That one win was a 34-27 triumph at Heinz Field in 2015.

When we look at Steelers classic games against the Broncos, one contest that stands out is the 2005 Conference playoff final when the Steelers wanted to move Jerome Bettis’ retirement party to Detroit.

Having come so close the previous year when they lost in the Conference game, Jerome Bettis postponed his retirement in the hope that his final year in the NFL would end in his home town to play in the Championship game.
