Will the Steelers’ defense bounce back after an ugly game against the Colts?

The Pittsburgh Steelers had the top-ranked defense through three weeks, both in scoring and in yardage. They are still second in points, but fell to fourth now in yardage. They rank third in rushing yards allowed and eighth in passing yards allowed. And with two games without a takeaway, they have fallen to ninth in that department.

The Indianapolis Colts had their number early on, and the Steelers struggled to adjust to the change at quarterback. They prepared for Anthony Richardson, a more run-oriented, read-option quarterback.
