STEELERS METHODICAL IN WEEK 12 WIN OVER STRUGGLING BRONCOS

The Steelers did what elite teams do—execute in the red zone (3/3) and control the line of scrimmage with 211 rushing yards while their defense forced four fumble recoveries, and yeah, the Broncos out-passed them 337 to 294, but they couldn't finish drives when it mattered (0/2 in the red zone, 4/14 on third down). This is the kind of game that separates teams heading into the stretch run: the Steelers made their opportunities count through balanced football and relentless pressure, while Denver's explosive passing attack got swallowed up by a Steelers defense that knows how to win without needing a highlight reel.
