Steelers Upset Colts 27-20 Behind Six Takeaways and Relentless Pass Rush

A simplified two-high plan with an emergency secondary reshuffle produced takeaways that flipped the NFL’s top offense.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh forced six turnovers and sacked Daniel Jones five times, with T. J. Watt’s second-quarter strip-sack triggering the momentum shift.
  • Jones threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles, with Payton Wilson, Jack Sawyer and Joey Porter Jr. recording the picks.
  • The Steelers converted Indianapolis’ giveaways into 24 unanswered points, providing the decisive margin in the win.
  • With multiple safeties out, Pittsburgh leaned into more two-high coverages, started recent acquisition Kyle Dugger and used Jalen Ramsey at safety, holding Jonathan Taylor to 45 rushing yards.
  • Aaron Rodgers urged better offensive execution after a 225-yard output as Pittsburgh improved to 5-3, Indianapolis fell to 7-2, and guard Isaac Seumalo aggravated a pectoral injury.
