In a Sunday showdown at Lucas Oil Stadium, the Indianapolis Colts outlasted the previously unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers with a final score of 27-24. Indianapolis set the pace with a 17-0 lead in the first half, powered by rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson until his exit due to a hip injury. His replacement, veteran Joe Flacco, seized the moment by directing two touchdown drives, reminiscent of his Super Bowl MVP days with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Steelers, led by Justin Fields’ dynamic playmaking, clawed back with a second-half comeback attempt that included two rushing touchdowns and a clutch TD pass to tight end Pat Freiermuth. But Pittsburgh's effort was stymied by critical turnovers and a botched final-drive snap that sealed their fate. Despite injuries to key players, Indianapolis demonstrated resilience and savvy game management, with Michael Pittman Jr. contributing 113 receiving yards and Matt Gay's field goals rendering the final margin. It was a testament to the Colts' depth and tenacity, as they moved to 2-2 on the season, leaving the Steelers at 3-1.
