The Pittsburgh Steelers stormed back from seventeen points down late in the 3rd quarter to knock off the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, 28-24, clinching the AFC North and a home playoff berth in the process.
It was an improbable victory considering how the first forty-odd minutes of play transpired, with Indy dominating on both sides of the football. Their defense had been particularly effective, holding the Steelers to 171 total yards on 37 snaps for an average of 4.6 yards per play. Pittsburgh’s only points had come courtesy of a three-yard drive set up by a turnover from their defense.
