T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense dominated rookie quarterback Bo Nix, leading to a 13-6 victory over the struggling Denver Broncos. Justin Fields, stepping in for the injured Russell Wilson, delivered a solid performance with one touchdown pass as Pittsburgh improved to 2-0.

Nix, despite throwing for 246 yards, was intercepted twice and unable to score. This win marks Pittsburgh's third in a row against the Broncos, the first time such a streak has occurred in their lengthy history.
