The Steelers looked impressive in week 1, but there are still plenty of issues at hand for the team to worry about in week 2.

The Steelers overcame all of their question marks from week one and defeated the Giants handily. Now, on a short week, the team is gearing up for yet another challenging matchup against the Broncos. While the Broncos suffered a close loss in week one, they will be looking to rebound against the Steelers in week two.

While the Steelers answered a lot of long-pondered questions, there are still more questions stuck with the team. Now, there are even more questions after certain players rose to the occasion and others fell short of expectations. The Steelers enter week two as the favorites, but the game is far from a lock for the squad to easily win.

The Broncos didn’t look bad in week one by any means, they just didn’t do enough to beat the Titans. They will certainly come into this matchup well prepared and ready to win. The Steelers can’t rest on the laurels of their impressive week one, as the Broncos have an exciting team that could easily surprise the heavily favored home team. If the Steelers go into the game expecting an easy matchup, they could realistically find themselves with their first loss of the season.

Can the Steelers maintain their defensive dominance? Can the offense hold up against a surprisingly good defense? All of these and more will have to be answered on Sunday. All of this said, here are the biggest causes for concern with the Steelers week two matchup against the Broncos.
