Overview
- Pittsburgh snapped a two-game skid to reach 5-3, turning six Indianapolis giveaways into 24 points in the 27-20 win.
- Colts quarterback Daniel Jones threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles while taking five sacks, a stark departure for a team that had just four turnovers over the first eight games.
- Steelers coaches credited a simplified approach with more two-high coverages for helping generate pressure and interceptions by Payton Wilson, Jack Sawyer and Joey Porter Jr.
- T. J. Watt’s second-quarter strip-sack and recovery flipped momentum, Alex Highsmith added a late strip-sack, and Jonathan Taylor was limited to a season-low 45 rushing yards on 14 carries.
- Aaron Rodgers went 25-of-35 for 203 yards and a touchdown yet criticized the offense’s execution after the win, as the 7-2 Colts framed the turnover-laden loss as uncharacteristic and turn next to a trip to Berlin.
