THE 50-YARD LINE

     Deck the Broncos, they're just yonkos! (sung to the tune of Deck the Halls. Thanks to the late, great, Myron Cope.) Our Pittsburgh Steelers return home for their final regular season game this afternoon as they battle the Denver Broncos at Heinz Field. These are your keys for today's game. 1)We've heard all week how great Denver's defense is. They're #1 in total defense, passing defense, sacks and defensive touchdowns. What's the best way to beat that? Score early, score often, score BIG! 2)Broncos QB Brock Osweiler will get the start again this week in place of Peyton Manning. Osweiler has gone 3-1 as a starter but has been sacked 17 times in 17 quarters. Last week, Khalil Mack of the Raiders tagged him 5 times. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD! 3)The Steelers are still on the outside of the playoff picture and need to win out just to get a chance. Mrs. Black-N-Gold has said it before and she'll say it again: You've go to win to get in! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
