After two straight games of the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense performing at its worst, the NFL schedule gifted the franchise a date with the most effective and efficient offense in the NFL, owned by the unlikely Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts are 7-1, on top of the NFL mountain, and it’s in large part because of Jonathan Taylor, who is playing at near MVP levels, even if he might end up settling for the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year. He’s run for 850 yards and 12 touchdowns halfway through the season.
Still, one of Pittsburgh’s small victories on Sunday night against Green Bay was stopping the run.
