The Denver Broncos faced a tough 13-6 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, impacting player performances significantly. Defensive end Zach Allen stood out, achieving a career-high in pressures and securing a sack against the Steelers' quarterback Justin Fields.
On the receiving end, Josh Reynolds emerged as a key player, showcasing his skills with impressive yardage. Punter Riley Dixon also demonstrated strong performance, leading the league in effective punts.
However, challenges remained for players like Mike McGlinchey and Garett Bolles on the offensive line, who struggled against the Steelers' defense. Tight end Greg Dulcich failed to make a significant impact upon his return, and WR Marvin Mims Jr. saw reduced playing time despite expectations for a larger role.
