Sun Sep 15 17:25:14 UTC 2024: ## Steelers Head to Denver for Week 2 Showdown, VPN Access Needed for Some Fans

The Denver Broncos, seeking their first win of the season, host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Week 2 matchup at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on CBS, but some fans may need to use a VPN to access the game due to potential blackout restrictions.

Rookie quarterback Bo Nix will look to build on his first career touchdowns in his home debut, while Pittsburgh’s Justin Fields could start again with Russell Wilson still out with a calf injury. The Steelers are coming off a dominant 10-point win over the Falcons, thanks in part to their strong defense.

Fans who find themselves unable to watch the game locally due to blackout restrictions can use a VPN to virtually change their location and access the broadcast. This also helps prevent internet service providers from throttling speeds on game day. While VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, users should ensure their VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks and avoid any potential account issues.

For those without cable, several live TV streaming services carry CBS, including the more affordable Paramount Plus, which costs $8 per month for its Essentials tier. Other options include YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo, which offer more channels but come at a higher cost.

For those in areas where the game is being broadcast, an over-the-air antenna can provide free access to CBS without any monthly fees.

Fans can check their local CBS availability on Paramount Plus, and find more information on live TV streaming services and VPNs online.
