Four of the first six possessions in the NFL’s Sunday Night showcase presentation ended in turnovers, and you had to wonder if NBC had begun to frantically look for contract language that would allow the network to flex this thing onto C-SPAN2.
The fact that the Steelers stabilized themselves early enough to take full advantage of a laughable Indianapolis Colts defense and arrange a 45-10 torching of the co-leaders in the joyless AFC South was a credit to any number of people, none of them Jacoby Jones.
Jones fumbled on the game’s first play, fumbled again on what likely will be his last act in a Steelers uniform, and only a modest degree of professional decorum kept him from being released on national television.
