The Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos face off on Sunday in Denver in the Wild Card round of the 2012 NFL Playoffs, with the winner advancing to face the New England Patriots next week.
The Steelers enter the game as eight- or nine-point favorites despite playing on the road, and losing starting running back Rashard Mendenhall to injury, and having a gimpy starting quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger. The Broncos limped into the postseason with three straight losses and an 8-8 overall record in the regular season. As with any game involving the Broncos this year, polarizing quarterback Tim Tebow will be the story for many fans; realistically, though, the only way for the Broncos to have a shot in this one is to keep Pittsburgh's injury-riddled offense at bay.

Location: Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, Colorado
