The divisional-round playoff game between the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday promises to be an old-school, physical battle. However, the Broncos may be playing with a chip on their shoulders after an incident stemming from their Week 14 bout with the Steelers.
In the 34-27 home loss, David Bruton Jr. was the victim of a nasty, illegal helmet-to-helmet hit when Pittsburgh center Cody Wallace launched himself at the safety after a play was over.
Denver safety Darian Stewart said he and his teammates have not forgotten the hit, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.
