APNow this is more like it.
After a dreadfully boring first quarter, the stars of the show have decided to take the stage, doing what they do best.
The Broncos got in the end zone first when Peyton Manning led a brilliant 80-yard, no-huddle drive, exhibiting the same kind of efficiency he did for years with the Colts. It’s impressive particularly because he’s still learning the parts around him, while he had the benefit of stability for years with Indianapolis.
And then Ben Roethlisberger matched him, using his mobility to keep plays alive and get the Steelers to the end zone on a long drive of his own. He’s also trying to adapt on the fly to Todd Haley’s ways, and it looks like he’s starting to figure it out.
The Steelers have a 10-7 lead at the half, setting the stage for what should be an exciting second half.

Haley’s system might prolong Ben’s career, by having efficient drives and short passes for the majority of the game, then let ben do his magic with 2 minutes left in the half.
I’m getting pretty sick of defensive football being considered ‘dreadfully boring.’ There is a huge difference between the first quarter of this game and Cleveland-Philly today.
2 mediocre teams at best.
I defintely wanted Arians out but this offense scheme is no good.
smokingconch – I couldn’t agree with you more.
Great FB game. If steelers lose, watch their crazy fans blame the refs. If Denver loses, they’ll say congrats.
Same ol Steelers.
Go Broncos! Manning was sensational.
Welcome back #18!! How did that taste
haters and doubters? Go Broncos!!
Nothing new Peyton is incredible!
