Morris helps Colts squeak past Steelers

Stephen Morris added to his strong preseason showing Saturday night at Heinz Field, and the Indianapolis Colts got their first win with a 19-15 decision against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Morris — who finished 12-of-16 for 143 yards — directed a 14-play, 86-yard drive that spanned the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth and ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Josh Ferguson. Morris has led a scoring march in all seven preseason games he's played for Indianapolis.

Cornerback Christopher Milton preserved the victory with an interception of Pittsburgh backup Landry Jones after a pass interference penalty gave the Steelers the ball at the Colts' 1-yard line with less than four minutes to play.
