The Steelers are riding high after an exciting comeback victory over the Denver Broncos.
While the Steelers take their Victory Monday before preparing for the Baltimore Ravens we’ll be busy looking for mentions of your Black & Gold so we’ve got you covered. Here’s your Steelers Morning Huddle for Monday, Dec. 21st.

It comes as no surprise but Bob Labriola tells us that Ben Roethlisberger was named Steelers Digest Player of the Week after his 40-of-55 for 380 yards, three touchdown and two interception performance in the 34-27 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

His three touchdown passes all came in the second half as the Steelers erased a 17-point halftime deficit. After throwing what could have been a costly interception late in the fourth quarter he threw the 8-yard pass to
Antonio Brownwith 90 seconds remaining for a first down to secure the victory for the Steelers.
Peezy got to them
Was it something the Steelers defense drank during half time that had them come out and after allowing 27 points in the first half they shut out the Broncos offense? Nope, it was something they heard. From outside linebackers coach Joey Porter, in fact.
Many #Steelers players say Joey Porter spoke up at half time to put things in perspective for them.

He knows a thing or two about facing Denver.
Overcoming adversity, obviously
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin credits the defense for overcoming the adversity of playing really crappy in the first half of the game to end up shutting the Broncos out in the second half of a 34-27 Steelers victory.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has clips from Tomlin’s post-game press conference where he credits the team for playing “markedly better” in the second half. I should say so.
