In taming the Colts, did the Steelers show they can match up with anybody?
The Steelers just suffered two rough losses in which the defense looked anything but championship-caliber, but does the win over the Colts change that perception? Indianapolis came into the day with the best record in football. Not only did it lose, but so did the team with the second-best record in football—the Packers.
Of course, many have questioned whether the Colts are “for real” or not, but the Steelers have other quality win. They might not have seemed as obvious then, but they beat the Patriots, who are 7-2.
