Notebook: Steelers WRs On Broncos' Boasting
PITTSBURGH -- If Denver hoped it was going to sneak into Pittsburgh and steal a win from a team hungover after an emotional win on the road, its secondary wrecked the plan.
The Broncos are the No. 1 pass defense in the NFL, and they're not shy about saying it.
"They're hot because they haven't played us yet," Broncos safety T.J. Ward said of the Steelers in Tuesday's edition of The Denver Post. "A lot of teams were hot before they played us."
The Broncos haven't allowed a 300-yard passer this season, nor 30 points in any game, but the Steelers have put up plenty of both numbers lately. Their star receivers, though, didn't want to get into a war of words about it.
