The Pittsburgh Steelers did not look like themselves against the Indianapolis Colts. They got pushed around on defense, letting the Colts jump out to an early lead. Even when Joe Flacco had to come in at quarterback, they didn’t dominate like they normally had been. Analyst Chris Simms believes that the Steelers were playing scared on defense.
“When I was watching the game, I was like, I don’t see as much creativity and the crazy coverages, and wait Minkah [Fitzpatrick]’s down here, and now he shoots back here to this half of the field, and this guy blitzes,” Simms said Wednesday on his podcast, Chris Simms Unbuttoned.
