The Pittsburgh Steelers entered Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts with a chance to get to 4-0 on the season. The defense had allowed the fewest points in the league. QB Justin Fields was coming off his best game yet as the Steelers’ starter. But Colts head coach Shane Steichen already had one big win under his belt over Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
And the ghosts of 2023’s matchup reared their ugly head early on Sunday. The Colts jumped out to a 17-0 lead in the first half, and although the Steelers fought back, they could not fully close the gap in the 27-24 loss.
