The Divisional Round ends here. With Big Ben Roethlisberger facing off against Peyton Manning and the Broncos, it'll be a toss up on who Ravens fans want to see win.
#6 Pittsburgh Steelers @ #1 Denver Broncos
Where to Watch: 4:40 on CBS
Spread: Broncos by 8
Over/Under: 41
Background:
The Broncos won the #1 seed in the AFC on the back of their defense and running game. Their passing game is mediocre, as they are led by Peyton Manning who is having the worst season of his career with nine touchdowns and 17 interceptions.
The Steelers have made it to the AFC Divisional Round, but they are without their star runningback DeAngelo Williams and star receiver Antonio Brown. Ben Roethlisberger is injured as well, which will limit the Steeler offense.
This is the fourth time that the Broncos have made the playoffs during the Peyton Manning era, all four of which have been as the AFC's #1 or #2 seed. This is the first time that they have made the playoffs during the Gary Kubiak era. This is the first time the Steelers and Broncos have faced each other in the playoffs since 2011.
