In a 28-7 Thanksgiving night victory over the depleted, struggling Indianapolis Colts, the Pittsburgh Steelers made two things plainly clear to even a tryptophan-plagued, half-awake football audience
First, the Steelers showed us that they remain genuinely flawed. The defense allowed backup Colts quarterback Scott Tolzien to extend far too many drives and was bailed out by questionable Indy goal-line play calls as well as two ugly fourth-quarter throws that resulted in easy Pittsburgh interceptions.
Second, they confirmed that those flaws might not matter so long as the three B's are healthy and productive.
