Much was the case last week against the Dolphins; the Steelers struggled in the first quarter against the Colts. It began with a Mason Rudolph interception off a dropped pass by JuJu Smith-Schuster that gave Miami great field position and an early lead.
Eventually, the Steelers were able to keep pace with the Colts, but it wasn’t easy. It required their defense to chip in a 96-yard defensive touchdown, three total takeaways, and a missed Adam Vinatieri kick, but eventually, the Steelers emerged victoriously.
It certainly wasn’t pretty, and there were several bad calls on both sides of the ball.
