Pittsburgh Steelers at home Saturday in game that shapes up as essentially struggle between two of the leagues best defensive units Nobody runs on Pittsburgh says Morton veteran of 13 pro seasons You have to rely on big plays to beat themlike the safety blitz we used to get touchdown and Rick Upchurchs long punt return for score when we beat them earlier this year Such an offensive approach helped produce 122 record this season tying the Broncos wit Dallas for the best mark in the FL Defensively Denver is aggressive and looks for the tum over But one of the main cogs in its finely tuned defensive machine is ailing and might not see action Randy Gradishar one of two inside linebackers in Denvers 34 alignment has sprained ankle He took pass from Mike Gartner of Niagara Falls Flyers of
