PITTSBURGH –
First Quarter Recap
The Steelers won the toss and chose to receive.
The game would start with three turnovers before even three minutes had expired. Jonathan Newsome forced a fumble on the opening kickoff and rookie D’Joun Smith jumped on the loose ball.
Indianapolis could not take advantage though. On a third-and-nine from the Steelers 10-yard line, Pittsburgh linebacker Jarvis Jones picked off Matt Hasselbeck.
Starting for Jerrell Freeman, Nate Irving would give the Colts offense the ball right back. Billy Winn recovered a forced fumble by Irving.
