The Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos are playing for the NFL playoffs divisional round on Sunday and the game is live from Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The matchup starts at 4:40 pm ET and has TV coverage from CBS as Ben Roethlisberger and Peyton Manning battle.

The Steelers are coming into the game banged up with Antonio Brown and DeAngelo Williams out, while Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with a shoulder injury. Roethlisberger is playing despite dealing with a shoulder sprain and torn ligaments, but the Steelers also have backups ready in case Roethlisberger needs to come out at any point. According to NFL.com, Roethlisberger is not at full strength, but he is able to run the entire offense for the Steelers.

The Bengals put some hurt on the Steelers last week with the injuries to Roethlisberger and Brown and that could be a major factor in the game on Sunday. Williams is out for the second straight games after missing the wild card round against the Bengals. Williams was injured in Week 17 and that means Fitzgerald Toussaint and Jordan Todman will get the chance to play again after performing well against the Bengals.

Antonio Brown took a big hit last week against the Bengals and he now will be out with a concussion. Brown is the biggest playmaker for the Steelers and now the team will have to find a way to win despite not having their leading receiver or rusher active for the game. The Steelers and Broncos played towards the end of the season and the Steelers won that game, but Brock Osweiler started for Denver for the injured Peyton Manning.

Peyton will be back in action for this game and Osweiler will be active, while Juwan Thompson has been ruled out for the Broncos. Manning and the Broncos have home field advantage in the AFC and a win here would set up a playoff game with the Patriots in the AFC Championship game next week.

The Steelers have already had plenty of experience with revenge and physical play with the Bengals last week and that could come into play on Sunday. The Steelers pulled a hit with center Cody Wallace on safety David Bruton when the two teams played towards the end of the regular season and Denver may be looking to get some payback. The team likely will not do anything illegal, but safety Darian Stewart already said he will be looking to play rough, but within the rules. The refs likely will keep an eye on things.
