This time last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers' season looked like it could be fading fast. They just lost a devastating home game to the Green Bay Packers, largely due to a pitiful defensive effort. The offense was fine, but it wasn't good enough to make up for their shortcomings elsewhere. Too much pressure was being put on the 41-year-old quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, and something had to change.
With the surging Indianapolis Colts coming to town in Week 9, things weren't going to be any easier. Or so we thought.
The Steelers held the league's top offense at bay for the vast majority of the day, coming away with a 27-20 victory that wasn't as close as it looks.
