With good reason. The Broncos certainly gashed the Patriots in the ground game. But the Patriots were willing to let it happen, in exchange for keeping Tebow in the pocket and not allowing him to run around and throw deep on their weak defensive backs. Maybe the Steelers coaches also took Tebow and Denver lightly, figuring, "We'll stuff the run because Tebow can't beat us, we're just too good defensively for that".
