With 3:48 to go in the fourth quarter, the Pittsburgh Steelers have just tied the game at 23 on a 31-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Jerricho Cotchery.

The Steelers got the ball back after a Willis McGahee fumble at the Steelers 45-yard line stopped what appeared to be a promising Broncos drive. From there, the Steelers took seven plays to go 55 yards for the tying score.

The Broncos offense now takes over at its own 15-yard line following a 19-yard kick return by Matthew Willis.

After the Broncos went back up by 10, it didn’t take the Steelers long to respond.

Shaun Suisham added his third field goal of the game on a 37-yard kick that cut the deficit again to seven points with 9:59 left in the fourth quarter.

The Steelers used two big plays to quickly get into field-goal range. Roethlisberger hit Antonio Brown for 20 yards across the middle of the first play of the drive, then two plays later, Redman busted a 28-yard run up the middle to get the ball down to the Broncos 23-yard line.

But the defense held firm again with their backs to the wall, stopping the Steelers and allowing just the field goal. The Broncos will start out on their own 20-yard line following the TV timeout.

The Broncos have answered the Steelers touchdown drive.

With 13:10 left in the fourth quarter, Matt Prater connected on a 35-yard field goal to give Denver a 10-point lead, 23-13. It’s Prater’s third field goal of the contest.

The score capped a methodical 12-play, 41-yard drive that ate up 6:19 of clock.

The Broncos got all the way down to the Steelers 10-yard line but a wide receiver screen pass to Eddie Royal that would’ve given the Broncos a first down at the 3-yard line was wiped out on a holding call.

The key play for the Broncos came a few plays earlier, on third-and-5, when Tebow found running back Lance Ball on an short sideline route for the first down. In an area where they’ve struggled all year, the Broncos are 6-for-13 on third down in this game, which has helped them sustain drives.

The Steelers start on their own 20-yard line following the touchback.
