With the Baltimore Ravens' victory over the Bengals in Week 17, the Pittsburgh Steelers were relegated to the fifth seed in the 2012 NFL playoffs as a Wild Card team. Since the Steelers are not a division winner, they'll have to travel to face the Denver Broncos in Denver despite the fact that the Broncos finished just 8-8.
The last time the Steelers played in Denver was the 2009 NFL season, when the Steelers beat the then Kyle Orton led Broncos 28-10 thanks to two fourth quarter touchdowns and three interceptions by the Steelers defense. This go-around, however, they'll be facing Tim Tebow and a completely different-looking Denver offense.
The Denver Broncos will host Pittsburgh on Sunday, Jan. 8, at 4:30 PM ET. CBS will have the coverage nationally.
