Pittsburgh Steelers vs Denver Broncos FULL GAME 2nd Sep 15,2024 | NFL Today | NFL 2024 Season

ball and reacting but they do have to get some sort of a flow against this defense javante Williams all the talk Arch about against the Seahawks on second and six Nicks taking a chance and a little bit high with that pass looking in the direction of doich doich guys's been dealing with those hamstring issues trying to keep himself healthy Joey Porter was there on the coverage and they're just running a simp that was actually nicks's first incompletion he's five of his first six only 27 yards so not much down the field yet against this vaunted Pittsburgh defense but it is good that they are attempting to throw the ball down the field trying to loosen them up a little bit on Third and sixo tight window pass it's incomplete Josh Reynolds was the intended target again Porter on the coverage Dixon on the punt Calvin Austin back deep and let this one take a bounce inside the five so danger time here for fields and Pittsburgh first and 10 from the one just trying to get themselves some breathing room let's throw it downstairs to ad to get an injury update Sparro defensive end John Franklin Myers has been taken inside the the start the rookie at right tackle but for the moment it's Bradwick Jones second and eight back to the ground game Harris hard running trying to get those shoulder pads low gets downhill waiting for the signal right there and now C pleman says first down well you mentioned him earlier able to get a first down and now you can start your offense huge two plays Harris trying to find the edge good Pursuit from Denver Christian Welch among the tacklers we asked Arthur Smith about his rookie centered last week who of course had to start replacing the injured Nate herig who went down in the preseason and Arthur Smith wasn't bashful he said I thought Frasier dominated last week he did and he had a big matchup you know going against a lot of times Grady Jarrett over there for the Atlanta Falcons sure this offensive line only gave up five pressures the entire game really an impressive outing and that's one of the main reasons why fields in the offense were able to stay on schedule and play the type of game that they did play action from Fields goes to the check it's Wallen out of the back field and so Pittsburgh starting the drive at their own one yd line on the move they pick up 13 from Warren on the catch and run this is a a similar play they're starting to get it together here Justin Fields four of his first five he goes play action again a little bit High here with that pocket muddying quickly and so there will all right Nate Cincinnati trying to get back in the win column after a tough start to their season what a win that would be for them second and 10 for Fields as we come up on the 11-minute mark Warren trying to weave his way through traffic takes on tacklers brought down at the 29 yd line Alex Singleton and defeating the Blitz from the Denver Broncos false start offense number 77 5y penalty or down is that penalty factor into the coach's decision for the rest of the day Broncos are showing heavy Blitz but I I wouldn't be surprised if they drop back into Zone here they come fields protected near side it's caught Pickins first down Pittsburgh it's he has been almost perfect today back to the ground game it's Harris gaping hole going to get inside Denver territory it's a run of 11 they'll get another first down well you think Ste taken every single time it's the Steelers have been able to exploit that mistake for a big play Harris this one two punch with the ground game really a three-headed monster when you consider fields and his running ability we'll check the flag here from blakeman holding offense number 77 10y penalty replay first down for just brutal for R Jones's second penalty on this drive alone oh we knew coming into this game and change left before the half at first and 20 trying to get some of the back here from Warren pick up two maybe three but this is what Vance Joseph touched on in our chat with him on Friday we want to get them into obvious passing situations to put some pressure make the play to try to get off the field Fields feels the pressure Cooper giving Chase his old buddy from Ohio State fields on the Run what a pass it's caught Pickins we'll check the marker here in the offensive Back Field oh that's going to come back but I don't know if you can see a better a better playing offense number 77 10 y penalty for second down it's on Jones again oh my this is a a a drop it's of penalties on Jones on that drive and that one wipes away a 51 yd completion from fields to pickings second and 28 over the middle Harris on the catch gag tackle Cody Barton getting there first for Denver How about if you're if you're George pickings remember last week right he had another big one called back which which I didn't think was a a very many better than that one but it doesn't count see what the Steelers have done on third down tough one here third and 23 with fire MTH over the middle so they're going to be well short of the first down as fire makes the catch he's pattern it's early in the season but they go through stretches where they play really good defense but but right now their critical playgr they're losing that battle they lost it against Seattle and so far they're losing it here against the Pittsburgh Steelers now this one takes a Denver bounce into the bar pen up there as well they're awfully excited about what that building and facility will be state-of-the-art three story headquarters over 200,000 Square ft as they will have that thing open just prior to the 2026 season as we hit the seven-minute mark left before halftime the rookie bonick back back onto the field as he looks towards Humphrey for the first down completion NFL today I know Nate doesn't carbo load I I know I'm I know I'm better than that yeah back to the ground game first down and more for Denver that's Tyler batty just called up from their practice squad so he gets some run early in this game and it's a pickup of 16 and I like how mclin just hit the hole or excuse me BTY just hit the hole a lot of money that they've invested into this offensive line and this is why you pay them for a game like this against this kind of a defense and right on Q we get all kinds of movement up front neutral zone infraction Defense number 56 so first down able to keep it going they've got to be able to stay on the field give their Defense AR rest but this you know they they've started to get some positive things going it just they can't have the negative play Nicks feeling the heat just going to throw this out of bounds heavy play from the rookie know travus Adams among the men coming with the pressure there and we and Mike McDonald now the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks not really sure what you're going to see Steelers you kind of know what you're going to see and that's number 90 and 56 and 97 that's all you need to see range for some late first half points last week can he get them to the scoreboard here five and change left Micks going to run for it first down and more slides down close to the Pittsburgh 40 it's a pickup of 13 as he quickly tucks it away and shows the wheels well you've seen you've seen them run quite a bit of empty empty but now just giving those linebackers something else to think about next time they come out in that no back set with five receivers first time on the Steelers side of the field javante Williams on the take Denver last week had only five rushes go for more than five yards that was the fewest of any team this week with all the struggles that they had mlin Williams you see that empty set one more time and it looks like now Steelers coming with a different defensive alignment but you better believe there will be eyes on the quarterback M Laughlin top of your picture Nicks har fake twice and they get him what sh string sack from the master himself down without really getting touched continues to climb the charts over the middle this is Marvin Mims Jr they've been clamoring for him to have a little bit more of a role in this offense he picks up nine but they're short of the first down I thought it was interesting when we we talked to TJ yesterday in our meting a lot sea pton looked like he thought about at arch for a moment but instead to send out Riley Dixon or will they here fourth and seven it would be a 57 yd field goal from here initially thought to punt but he sends his offense back onto the field and here we go Nicks from the gun side on delivery bed down nearly picked by Queen as Sha Pate rolls the dice and the Steelers defense holds down marker just not a well executed play and now you give it to the Steelers at their own 39 yd line with two timeouts plus the two-minute warning there's a marker thrown as van Jefferson has his first catch we'll check the flag here from CLE blakeman I think they're going to get ceran holding Defense number two it's a 5yd penalty automatic first down well we expected to see some highle soan had six penalties all last season he's got three already through a game plus Steelers won't want to play that'll take us down to the two-minute warning so the Steelers sitting pretty two timeouts the NFL season it's all to come on the Verizon halftime report first and 10 Fields all day to throw but everyone's covered down the field Fields just squirts his way up to the line of scrimmage Zack Allen who had a couple of sacks last week was a monster for this Denver defense gets him and officially a loss of a yard well you see they were trying to go big maximum protection he didn't take off faster than he did he is really looking this season like he's trying to look down the field before he just takes off and runs clock management now looms large with Mike Tomlin holding those two timeouts as AR Arthur Smith keeps it on the ground here with Harris it's a run of seven and that clock still running 106 left it'll be third and four well third down has been Pittsburgh's down so far they're three five and they they've been in a very good third and medium to Third and short for much of this football game and to me that's an advantage for Justin fields on third and four they go outside the numbers it is Austin beautifully P play Sparro the Broncos tager Baron Browning is questionable with a foot injury for huge loss with jfm now done we certainly hope to have Browning back in this game big Center piece for this defense on the ground here is Warren trying to slip the initial tackle so Pittsburgh has the longest most accurate longrange kicker in the history of the league in Chris Boswell we saw how good he was last week and they're letting that clock run down 28 seconds fields on second and six going to take a shot but nearly a one-handed step Jefferson will check the marker Riley moss on the coverage pass interference Defense number 21 Bly plac miss byot the foul first down for the evi Wallace has come into the game after the 27 yd penalty on Moss on the pass interference first and 10 with 20 seconds left Fields underneath this is Warren out of the back field taken on tackler is going to be brought down just shot the five they've got the two timeouts left another reminder the Verizon halftime level officiating no doubt all over that play 14 seconds second and three with the Steelers now down to their final timeout Justin field second straight start for the injured Russell Wilson 9 of 11 for 89 and a touchdown his Fields they protect him fields near side it's caught Pickin the balance in touchdown was there a pick here you see the flag thrown right at the goal line what body contraction of being a good pick and just over the line but that's that that is close that is very close to really being a well-designed play Steelers have a timeout so you don't have to play too conservatively here 10 seconds they do Mark him back now to the 16 yd line so 10 seconds it'll be a second and 13 well you really you have you really have one play at the end zone or throw it away otherwise uh it's it's a field goal attempt I'm told Jean did not like that call and we're going to get a timeout here taken by Shawn pton let's bring in Jee Jean why didn't you like that last call it's a tough play what so after the penalty it wipes away the touchdown 10 seconds with one timeout left in their back pocket second and 13 Fields quick delivery near side to Jefferson Jefferson slipping some tackles still going and he is inside the 5 ydd line boy that takes him down with 1 second left yeah but you were still even if as experience holding for baswell was a big part of tomlin's decision to bring him back for again cam Johnston who was lost for the season last week with that the injury Chip Shot field goal from Boswell is good and the Steelers build on their
