This was supposed to be Russell Wilson’s triumphant return to Denver… but his troublesome calf will likely keep him on the sidelines again this week. This turn of events leaves Justin Fields as the man under center for the Steelers (1-0) as they clash with Bo Nix and the Broncos (0-1) this Sunday afternoon at Mile High Stadium.
Both Nix and Fields faced an uphill battle with sustaining drives for their teams in Week 1. Like a mosquito at a nudist colony, they didn’t know where to begin last week, but they’ll need to step it up if their squads are to emerge victorious.
There are more storylines than a telenovela here, folks:
- Pittsburgh’s O-line versus Denver’s underrated defensive line: Can the Steelers ground game find cracks?
- George Pickens taking on Patrick Surtain: Cue the popcorn, this one’s a heavyweight bout!
- Denver’s offensive line versus the relentless TJ Watt: Attention, Bo Nix, beware of the Watt-attack!

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) is eyeing the touchdown market in this game:
“I’ve got my eye on Najee Harris. He looked solid in Week 1 and could find the end zone one or two times in this matchup. Given the Steelers’ passing woes last week, Harris might be their best bet for points.”
