After two ugly showings against the Cincinnati Bengals and the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense needed to respond in Week 9 against the NFL’s best offense in the Indianapolis Colts.
The Steelers had struggled to stop the run, were a mess in coverage and couldn’t tackle consistently. It didn’t seem like that statement was going to come against the Colts.
Then, it did — in emphatic fashion. The Steelers forced six turnovers and rolled to a big win over the Colts. Many are still questioning the Steelers despite the win, and understandably so.
