Hey, that guy...  All he needed was the best defense in the league to keep it close, and yes Denver was better than their numbers because they rarely got much of a break during most games, and he was guaranteed to make at least one or fewer game winning plays late in the 4th quarter of every game!  Quit trying to rewrite history here!

In the specific game under discussion, Denver had a 20-6 lead at halftime. Despite a valiant effort, the defense was not able to stop Pittsburgh from coming back in the second half. A key fumble stopped a clinching drive by Denver. But the defense did well at least held the tie at 23-23. (Obviously, Denver won it in overtime with the much-played highlight).
