Broncos vs Steelers

I'm not sure why so many of you are sure Denver will win, it's supposed to be pretty cold in Denver next week and good Peyton couldn't play in the cold, how do you think this version of Peyton will look Sunday night when it's 15 degrees

I hate to say it, but I think denver wins.

It won't matter if Pitt only scored 3 points.

Guys, the charmin soft colts shut down manning last year.

I think denver made a huge mistake going with manning over brock. His deep passes still sailed and his normal passes looked like ducks.

Steelers run d looked pretty good today. So if they stop the run, its cold and force manning to make throws? I easily see manning crapping the bed and losing

Have you SEEN Pittsburgh's secondary?

KC is not that good and if Maclin is down how are they going to beat a good team. Texas with Hoyer is terrible. A healthy Pitt can hurt the giant forehead at least they play with anger.we cold see them in gillette for afc.Brown and Rothlessburger are key

Yes and a good QB could pick em apart, current Peyton in cold is not good.

The AFC sucks so much, nothing will truly be a surprise no matter what happens.

The winner of the KC vs New England game will represent the AFC in Superbowl 50!

You or I could pick them apart.

Doesn't matter when Pitt scores 3 points.

OK, Ben is hurt. Didn't lift his right arm leaving the field (waved to fans with left arm), hasn't lifted his arm in press conference, said a long pass was called at the end of the game that he waved off because he couldn't throw it. We'll see what happens this week.

Manning will most likely not have to do much. The Steelers offense couldn't do much against cincy despite what seemed like endless 3 and outs by mcarron, plus a turnover giving them the ball in bengals territory. And this was before Ben and brown got hurt. If one or both are even hampered, Pitt will struggle to score 14.

Denver couldn't run till both collins/Hightower were out. And I won't get into Brady putting points on the with the WR he had

pitt was the only team IMO that had a shot at beating denver KC had no shot, houston ran the ball pretty good vs that defense and denver has a better run game and a much better defense then houston.

its going to be Peyton vs Brady in the AFCCG again

I will care about this poll after the pats game.

Gimpy Ben and probably no Antonio Brown because his brain is now jello. Broncos win going away. F.uck the Bengals for choking away that game.

I wouldn't put too much stock into Roethlisberger's "injury," which showed nothing on the X-rays and allowed him to return to the game and look fine. He also has 8 days to let whatever it is heal up. If I had a nickle for everytime he was carted off and actually returned to the same game, I'd have...several nickles. He's a drama queen.

Antonio Brown is in the concussion protocol, but apparently seemed fine after the game. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he was cleared to play, especially with the extra day of rest before next Sunday afternoon's game.

Exactly. We're getting way ahead of ourselves here, especially with the tough type of defensive team that KC has which has presented NE plenty of challenges in the past (postseason losses to the Ravens 2x, NYJ, DEN).

We "should" win, but I'm certainly not going to concern myself with any of it until Saturday night (hopefully). If/when that happens, we'll be rooting for PIT to keep the game home in the AFCCG, but either team can win, so we'll have to let the chips fall where they may and hope for the best.

If Brown & Ben play this will be bloodbath! Denver will have their hands full trying to contain Pittsburgh's high octane offense! New England on the hand will be a facing a very one dimensional offense most likely without their main weapon out! I think the Pats beats KC by at least 10 points! Big Ben is a warrior! I think he can pull off the upset in Denver!

I agree with the thought that PIT certainly has the capacity to go out to DEN and win. Hell, they've done in the postseason before and hung 34 on this year's team.

You lost me with the comment about Big Ben being a "warrior," though. I was actually trying to figure out how many times I've watched him get carted off only to see him return in the same game. It's seriously been multiple times. One time in CLE he got taken away in an ambulance only to play again the next game. The dude's the biggest drama queen in the entire NFL, possibly in NFL history. He's 6'5" and clearly pushing 260-270 lbs, and still can't take anything of a hit to any part of his body.

He's the James Brown of NFL QBs.

As well as being a toolbag diva, but that doesn't explain the fake injuries...er..."warrior-like gutty performances" he has every other game.

He reminds me of a WWF character. He's all show, and some people actually fall for it. The funny thing is that it's popular to believe that Ben is some kind of tough guy while Brady is some kind of wimp, while their injury histories and games missed show that it couldn't possibly be any further from the truth. People believe what they want to believe, though.
