The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the best traveling fan bases in the NFL, and they bring their signature “terrible towels” with them to every stadium they visit.
Perhaps in part to offset the yellow terrible towels that might show up at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday, the Denver Broncos are gifting each fan an orange rally towel for Sunday’s game against the Steelers.
The Broncos placed the rally towels on all 76,125 seats at their stadium ahead of the matchup with Pittsburgh:

They are pretty cool towels:

This is something Denver has been doing for several years, and not exclusively for games when the Steelers visit, but it’s a smart tactic to offset the terrible towels that will undoubtedly show up at Empower Field at Mile High today.
Elsewhere on the pregame front, Pittsburgh quarterback Russell Wilson was spotted chatting with Broncos backup quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson ahead of Sunday’s game:

Wilson (calf) is listed as questionable on the injury report, but he is not expected to play, according to ESPN.
Denver’s game against the Steelers will be regionally televised on CBS and available to stream on fuboTV (try it free) for in-market fans at 2:25 p.m. MT. The Broncos are considered betting underdogs despite playing at home.
