The Denver Broncos (4-6) have faced a lot of playoff caliber teams through their first 10 games and until last week had lost them all in mostly close affairs.
The Chiefs are 9-2, the Rams are 10-1, the Texans are 7-3 and the Chargers are 7-3. The Broncos beat the Chargers and lost the other four games. Now the 7-2-1 Pittsburgh Steelers are coming to town riding a six-game win streak. A win against them would insert the Broncos right back into the playoff mix in the AFC.
The final five games for the Broncos come against teams with records of 5-5, 2-8, 3-6-1, 2-8 and 7-3.
