One of the league’s worst defenses facing a historically productive offense — what could go wrong? Somehow, the Pittsburgh Steelers turned the script upside down, holding the Indianapolis Colts to their lowest point total of the season. After the Steelers’ 27-20 win, Mike Tomlin explained how Pittsburgh pulled it off.
“It started with minimizing their dynamic runner,” Tomlin said via the Steelers’ YouTube.
Jonathan Taylor has been on a league-MVP pace this season with 1,056 scrimmage yards and 14 total touchdowns through eight games. Against the Steelers, he had 45 rushing yards on 14 attempts, and just two receptions for 12 more yards.
