The Denver Broncos secured a convincing 42-3 victory over the Steelers at home on September 10, marking an undefeated start to the 2017 regular season. Head coach Charles Reddick's squad showcased balance on both sides of the ball, extending their winning streak to two games and sitting atop divisional standings.

The Steelers drew first blood via a 28-yard field goal by George Halter in the opening quarter, leading 3-0. However, the Broncos quickly responded. Kicker Fred Allison tied the game with a 51-yard field goal, and then quarterback Robert Bruton completed a 31-yard touchdown pass to Roy Keane. With Allison's extra point good, Denver surged ahead 10-3.

Denver capitalized on a pivotal turnover soon after. Defensive back Robert Fortunato sacked Steelers quarterback Leroy Shick and forced a fumble recovered by Robert Bailey, setting up running back Andres Powers’ one-yard touchdown run. The Broncos led 17-3 following Fred Allison's PAT.

The Broncos continued building momentum late in the first quarter, with the offense executing efficiently. Billy Alvarado added a 13-yard run, despite a brief fumble that was recovered by Larry Knox, helping maintain ball possession.

In the second quarter, Fred Allison converted a 44-yard field goal, increasing Denver's lead to 20-3. Bruton and Keane connected again for a 27-yard touchdown pass, with Allison’s extra point extending the margin to 27-3 before halftime.

Throughout the game, Bruton completed 20 of 32 passes for 248 yards and two touchdowns. Roy Keane was a key offensive figure with 104 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. Running backs Billy Alvarado and Andres Powers combined for significant yardage, with Alvarado adding 77 rushing yards and one receiving touchdown, while Powers contributed 57 rushing yards and a receiving touchdown.

On defense, Robert Fortunato recorded a sack and forced a fumble, setting the tone early. The Broncos defense limited the Steelers to just three points, forcing turnovers and controlling field position.

The Steelers struggled offensively, with quarterback Leroy Shick throwing for 182 yards and one interception. Their offense failed to score a touchdown, hindered by Denver's defensive pressure and effective special teams play. Ruben Bullard led the Steelers’ receiving with 93 yards.

The Broncos did not face any third-down conversions but maintained possession effectively through strong rushing and passing plays. Denver's disciplined performance included only two penalties totaling 25 yards.

With this win, the Broncos improve to 2-0 overall and lead their division. The Steelers fall to 0-2 amid growing concerns about offensive inefficiency and a defense unable to contain Denver's balanced attack.
