Jason Elam nailed his third game-winning field goal of the season to lead the Broncos to a 31-28 victory over the Steelers.

At stake
Both teams are in the hunt for division crowns. The Packers are one game in front of the second-place Lions in the NFC North. The Broncos moved into a second-place tie with the Chargers in the AFC West, a half game back of the Chiefs.

Key matchup:
Packers quarterback Brett Favre vs. Broncos cornerbacks Champ Bailey and Dre' Bly. The NFL's all-time interception king faces two of the top cornerbacks in the game. Favre passed George Blanda on the all-time list and now has 276 career interceptions. But Favre has been known to throw a touchdown, or two, as well. Favre has passed for 7,547 yards and 55 touchdowns on Monday nights, second all-time. Bailey (thigh) and Bly (shoulder) are both battling injuries, but coach Mike Shanahan expects them to be ready to play. Bailey and Bly rank first and second among active cornerbacks for most interceptions since 1999.
