Steelers' First Attempted Field Goal Blocked By Simmons

DENVER (CBS4) - Justin Simmons did not waste time putting a snuff of the Steelers drive when he blocked an attempted field goal in the first quarter. The move became the player's fourth blocked kick this year.

Blocked FG by @jsimms1119 is the Broncos' fourth blocked kick this year (2 FG, 1 punt, 1 PAT). Denver's four blocked kicks lead the NFL (twice as many as next-closest team).

Simmons' four blocked kicks also lead the league, and it's the most for the team in 16 years.
