The Pittsburgh Steelers entered their Week 16 game vs. the Indianapolis Colts trending in the wrong direction. After losing their last three games, the most recent a 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, the skid was real. The path didn’t get any easier with the 10-4 Colts coming to Heinz Field in hopes of clinching a playoff berth for themselves.
If the Steelers win, they clinch the AFC North, and after the Colts won the opening coin toss they deferred their possession to the second half. That meant it was Ben Roethlisberger and company taking the field for the opening drive of the game.
