The 49ers 20 to 3 win over the Steelers shows how Pittsburgh can be beat with mostly great defense.

The 49ers defense produced 4 turnovers and 3 sacks. Ben Roethlisberger had 3 interceptions which

was a key statistic in the 49ers rout.

Ben Roethlisberger has had a high ankle sprain that has limited his mobility. Dumervil and Miller need to

sack Roethlisberger as much as possible to slow down his mobility, and then the Broncos have to catch

the interceptions.

Mendenhall was also injured against Cleveland and may not be able to play which will slow down the Steelers

rushing attack.

Alex Smith threw for only 187 yards but it was more than enough with 49ers defense playing so well. Frank Gore

also converted a Roethlisberger fumble into a 5 yard running TD in the following possession.

The Broncos have to play great defense, and establish the run. Tebow has to throw for about at least 180 yards, which is considered quite low by Drew Brees standards.

The Broncos need to realize its a whole new season in the playoffs, and try to advance to the AFC championship

game.
