Just a few plays after a dynamic 30-yard punt return from wide receiver Calvin Austin III, the Pittsburgh Steelers appeared to be in business trailing 17-3 early in the third quarter and in striking distance of the end zone.
But three plays after the punt return, quarterback Justin Fields made a catastrophic mistake, scrambling around trying to make a play with two free rushers coming at him. Fields ultimately lost 20 yards on the play and then fumbled the football in the process, knocking the Steelers out of field goal range and giving the Colts a short field.
