Wallace sort of slipped it looked like. Nothing the defender can do about that.

Broncos are shooting themselves on the foot, and allowing the steelers to stay in this game.

The helmet to helmet was cause by Wallace slipping...no penalty in that situation.

Steelers have a minute and 2 timeouts....they have to get a FG or better

Great bootleg rollout play on this drive got them into FG range.

Wrong. It doesn't matter it is still helmet to helmet.

There is not one non-Pittsburgh fan in the world that is not ecstatic with a 14 point lead.....Steelers have done far more foot shooting.

I know Pittsburgh is probably going in at halftime down 14, but this could be a hell of a lot worse. Two big stops by the defense

Agreed, but the lead could be much larger for the Broncos.

And as all NFL teams do....get away from what works, and go into a soft zone defense.

I agree. End of half defenses always give up massive yards.

Not an illegal hit to the head. He has clearly completed the catch and is a runner. A runner is not defenseless.

Mike Pereira is obviously part of the NFL's Pro-Tebow/Anti-Steeler conspiracy. :rolleyes:
