The Denver Broncos first home game is a redemption opportunity, even this early in the season.
Catch up quick: Behind rookie quarterback Bo Nix, the Broncos struggled mightily in the first game of the season with two interceptions, a dismal running game and defense that faltered down the stretch. The Seattle Seahawks won 26-20.
State of play: The Broncos will need a much better offense — particularly from the quarterback position — but will face a superior defense.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' linebacker T.J. Watt will make Nix feel claustrophobic and challenge him all game.
On defense, Steelers quarterback Justin Fields will try to run around Denver's front line.
Former Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson will watch from the Steelers sideline with a calf injury.
What we're watching: If you don't have tickets — and we surely don't — four great places to watch the game: McGregor Square, Stoney's two locations downtown and Punch Bowl Social.
