Australian punter Jordan Berry and his injury-ravaged Pittsburgh Steelers face an ominous test when they take on the Peyton Manning-led Denver Broncos in the NFL playoffs.

The game, in sub-zero weather in Denver, is scheduled to begin on Monday at 8.40am AEDT, with the Steelers without star wide-receiver Antonio Brown and running back DeAngelo Williams while quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will play with a separated shoulder.

The winner faces the New England Patriots next weekend in the AFC Championship game and the victor will earn a spot in the February 7 Super Bowl.
