For the second time this season, the Steelers (11-6) cross paths with the Broncos (12-4) on Sunday.
The two previously met in Week 15. Pittsburgh secured a 34-27 victory at Heinz Field. This time, however, it'll be Peyton Manning under center for the Broncos, not Brock Osweiler.
John Elway Wanted Peyton Manning Back Under Center
Manning -- who missed a chunk of the season with a foot injury -- replaced a struggling Osweiler in Week 17. Needing a victory over the Chargers to secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC, head coach Gary Kubiak decided to make the switch.
It's a decision he's sticking with for the remainder of the postseason.

Mike Tomlin said Ben Roethlisberger made all the throws he needed to Friday. How many snaps in before he throws deep - to show he can?
