INDIANAPOLIS – Heading into Thursday evening, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was 64-of-88 for 886 yards in his last two games against the Colts. Those efforts resulted in two Steeler wins by at least a 17-point margin.
Pittsburgh came into Indianapolis looking for its fourth straight victory over the Colts, who were hosting their inaugural home game on Thanksgiving.
Facing the Colts for the first time at Lucas Oil Stadium since 2011, Roethlisberger found his rhythm early and led the Steelers to 21 points in their first 21 offensive plays. The Steelers’ signal caller finished 14-of-20 for 221 yards and three touchdowns en route to a 28-7 win.
