Many will focus in on the second half struggles, which is acceptable. The execution from the players just wasn’t there. The offensive line started got owned, pretty similar to what happened vs. the Oakland Raiders a week ago. Also, for the second week straight, the Broncos offensive coaching staff found themselves out-coached by the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coaches.
Both sides made adjustments at halftime, but the Steelers got more aggressive. Meanwhile, Denver went from aggressive play-calling and playing to win, to playing light and playing not to lose. When the coaches went back to being aggressive, the players struggled to execute and play calls became predictable.
