The Pittsburgh Steelers continued their impressive start to the season with a 13-6 victory over the Denver Broncos, spoiling rookie quarterback Bo Nix’s first home game. Justin Fields led the charge, throwing for 117 yards and a touchdown, while Darnell Washington hauled in the game’s lone TD catch. Chris Boswell added two field goals, bringing his season total to eight, as the Steelers’ stingy defense shut down the Broncos’ offense.
Pittsburgh’s defense was relentless, harassing Nix into two interceptions and bottling him up for most of the game. The Broncos struggled to move the ball, failing to cross midfield until late in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the Steelers’ offense did just enough to secure the win, with Fields engineering a 12-play, 78-yard drive that ended with Washington’s 5-yard TD catch.
The Broncos finally broke through in the fourth quarter, with Wil Lutz kicking two field goals to avoid a shutout. However, it was too little, too late, as the Steelers held on for their second straight road win. With Russell Wilson inactive due to injury, Nix’s struggles were magnified, and the Broncos fell to 0-2 on the season. The Steelers, meanwhile, remain undefeated, with their defense leading the charge.
