There’s no good reason for the Pittsburgh Steelers to lose this game. The offense moved the ball up and down the field, the defense held their own early and for large chunks of the game, Pittsburgh simply looked like the better team. But, of course, they didn’t get the victory, repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot until the Broncos finally capitalized.
Here are six plays that cost the Steelers the win.
1. Justin Simmons blocked kick
Something I was definitely worried about coming into this game. Justin Simmons cleanly leaped over the long snapper on his way to blocking this Chris Boswell first quarter field goal.
