I don't think you'll get many volunteers wanting to play behind these 3 interior OL.
@JasonStewart: When do Bears' fans start asking if they can get Justin Fields back?

Game News
Jaylen Warren held off Broncos OLB Jonah Elliss to give the play enough time to develop and Fields enough time to get the ball to Washington.
Justin Fields was 10 of 12 for 101 yards with a TD and four carries for 26 yards in the first half. He had at least two big plays wiped off the board because of penalties, including the 40-yard throw to George Pickens negated by a holding call.
After combining for an ugly 5 TDs in Week 1, NFL tight ends have totaled 3 TDs in Week 2...and 2 of the 3 were by Darnell Washington and Elijah Higgins.
The Pittsburgh Steelers went into halftime against the Denver Broncos with a 10-0 lead thanks to tight end Darnell Washington’s first NFL touchdown and a short field goal but kicker Chris Boswell to close out the half.
Denver is probably fortunate to only trail by 10 after two very questionable calls against the Steelers on the team’s final drives of the half. Offensive tackle Broderick Jones had three penalties called on him in a single draft with the last being a very ticky tack hold that negated a huge reception by wide receiver George Pickens
Have a feeling we'll be hearing about self-inflicted wounds and falling behind the sticks after this game. Steelers had something cooking but three penalties against Broderick Jones killed the drive.
Teams trade three-and-outs to start the game. Once again, Fields looks like he needs to settle in. First throw to Najee Harris was low, and he had Pat Freiermuth open over the middle.

Van Jefferson ran around trying to get into the end zone on that second down play with 10 seconds left. He finally goes down with 2 seconds on the clock -- enough time for the Steelers to call timeout and bring Boswell out for a 22-yard FG. HALF: 10-0 Steelers
Justin Fields said Russell Wilson got a "petty game ball" after the win -- something Mike Tomlin gives out routinely in wins for players going against their former teams. Fields said it was good to win for Russ: "Everyone knows Russ got done dirty here." bepryor: Brandon Johnson, who also played in Denver, got a petty game ball from Mike Tomlin, too
Troy Fautanu is indeed starting at right tackle. Dan Moore at left.
Calvin Austin got crushed between two Broncos DBs, but Riley Moss gets called for unnecessary roughness and gives the Steelers 15 free yards.
Alex Highsmith sacks Bo Nix on the Broncos sixth offensive play.
With Cam Heyward closing in, Bo Nix fires a pass to the end zone intended for Courtland Sutton. Instead, Cory Trice jumps in and grabs the pick in the end zone. Huge play to negate a couple of big pass plays by the Broncos to get to the red zone for the first time.
Stat line: 19-of-33 passing, 231 yards, two interceptions
Highlight: Bo Nix may have silenced a few doubts about his arm strength. With 8:02 to go in the third quarter, Nix completed a 26-yard pass over the middle to wideout Courtland Sutton. On the following play, Denver pulled out some trickery out of the Wildcat, as Sutton pitched the ball to Nix, who launched it down the field to wideout Josh Reynolds for a 49-yard completion.
Lowlight: As soon as Nix created momentum for the Broncos, he sucked it all away. On second-and-goal, Nix threw an interception in the end zone to Steelers cornerback Cory Trice Jr. It was a bad pass by Nix, who attempted to throw the ball to Sutton
It's going to take more than another 0-2 start for Courtland Sutton to throw in the towel on the 2024 season.
Box Nix so far is like watching Zach Wilson ... and his backup is Zach Wilson. THIS IS BAD.
