Needing a big-time bounce-back performance and finding themselves up against the high-flying Indianapolis Colts in Week 9 at Acrisure Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers rose to the challenge and rolled to a 27-20 win that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated.
The Steelers’ defense, under fire after back-to-back dreadful performances in Weeks 7 and 8, showed up in a major way Sunday, forcing five turnovers in the win. The pass rush was ferocious against Daniel Jones and the Colts, and Pittsburgh put the clamps on NFL MVP candidate Jonathan Taylor in the run game.
The Steelers made the Colts one-dimensional, which allowed them to hunt in the pass rush.
