Wallace is filling in for Broncos cornerback Riley Moss, who is sidelined with a knee injury. However, Wallace has been targeted heavily, especially by Jeudy. Wallace also allowed a 43-yard catch to Elijah Moore during the game.
Wallace spent two seasons with the Steelers but was benched last season in favor of Joey Porter Jr. On the day, Jeudy amassed over 200 yards, with many coming against Wallace.
The Steelers allowed Wallace to leave in the offseason and traded Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers for Donte Jackson. Jackson, with a team-high five interceptions, has been an improvement over Wallace.
The Broncos’ defense made a crucial play late in the game when cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted a pass and returned it for a pick-six to seal the win.
