Once again Ben Rothelisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le'Veon Bell carried the Steelers to victory over the Indianapolis Colts 28 to 7. In the first quarter, Bell rushed for a 5-yard touchdown run. He had 120 rushing yards and 1 touchdown along with 4 catches for 22 yards.
Later in the period, Antonio Brown caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Ben Rothelisberger. It looked as if Pittsburgh was on their way to a blowout, until Indianapolis decided to catch them off guard on a fourth-and-6 play from the Steelers 43-yard line with a fake punt.
Pat McAfee completed a 35-yard pass to Erik Swoope. This happened in the second quarter along with the 5-yard touchdown pass to Donte Moncrief from Scott Tolzien. Moncrief finished with 6 catches for 45 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. Tolzien, who started for Andrew Luck because of a concussion, finished with 205 passing yards 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions.
Later in the period, Rothelisberger threw another touchdown pass to Brown from 33 yards out. They would connect with each other one more time in the fourth-quarter, on a 22-yard touchdown pass. Rothelisberger finished with 221 yards passing and 3 touchdowns. Brown finished with 5 catches for 91 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns.
Pittsburgh also forced 2 goal line stops, which made Indianapolis turn the ball over on downs. The Steelers will host the New York Giants (7-3) next Sunday.
