Pittsburgh’s first drive of the second half ended with a 35-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham that capped a 16-play march in which the Steelers moved the ball 64 yards and chewed up 8:55.
The two biggest offensive plays of the series were a pair of 15-yard completions by Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, one to wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and one to tight end Heath Miller.
The Broncos forced the Steelers to settle for a field goal when defensive end Elvis Dumervil and linebacker Von Miller hit Roethlisberger to force the third-down incompletion.
