The Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers will face each other in their Sunday Night Football match at 8:20 p.m. ET/5:20 p.m. PT.
For the Broncos, they will be trying to see how well Peyton Manning is after his neck surgery that landed him out of the Indianapolis Colts starting lineup and out of the city as the Colts decided to go with Andrew Luck in the draft, to take charge of the offense.
Manning is expected to improve the team after Tim Tebow was traded to the New York Jets. Under Tebow, the Broncos did just enough last season, on offense, to make it to their playoffs. Their defense helped them stay close in games, but even then, they could not do it all for the squad.
The Steelers will look to bounce back this season after their postseason loss to the Broncos. Tebow burned the Steelers with an 80-yard touchdown that eliminated them from the 2011 playoff race.
Ben Roethlisberger has a new offensive, Todd Haley, running the offense.
The Steelers look to put a dynamic defense on the field and with the return of Mike Wallace, they should have enough fire power on the outside to score points and give the defense enough points to win ball games.
