- The Colts enter with the NFL’s best record and a top offense led by Jonathan Taylor, who paces the league in rushing yards and touchdowns, and Daniel Jones, who is completing 71% of his passes with 2,062 yards, 13 TDs and three INTs.
- Pittsburgh is 4-3 after consecutive prime-time losses, with Aaron Rodgers guiding the offense through 1,489 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions this season.
- The Steelers will be without safety DeShon Elliott and defensive lineman Daniel Ekuale due to knee injuries, guard Isaac Seumalo is questionable, and several Colts players did not practice midweek including Josh Downs, Anthony Gould, Nick Cross, Samson Ebukam, Tyquan Lewis, Kenny Moore and Grover Stewart.
- Head coach Mike Tomlin publicly challenged a pass defense ranked last in the league, which has gone three straight games without a takeaway.
