INDIANAPOLIS -- On a night when both offenses struggled at times to maintain any momentum, it was the Pittsburgh Steelers' 11-play, 75-yard scoring drive that covered the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth that proved decisive in a 24-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night.
Pittsburgh rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett and the Steelers' ground game, as well as the Colts' offensive inefficiency, led to a 16-3 Steelers halftime lead, and while the Colts mounted a comeback that briefly gave them an advantage, it wasn't enough.
