Game Preview
On December 16, the Indianapolis Colts (7-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) square off at Lucas Oil Stadium.
With a 7-6 record this season, the Pittsburgh Steelers take the field. The Steelers lost their game against the Patriots 21–18 the previous time they played on the football field. Mitchell Trubisky made a 22/35 pass for 190 yards and one touchdown. His quarterback rating was 74.7, and he finished the game with one interception. It may sound simplistic, but the Steelers will probably need to score points if they are to prevail in this game and maintain their position in the playoffs. The Steelers are only averaging 16.2 points and 292.5 offense yards per game through 13 games. Both of those stats are undoubtedly among the NFL’s worst 10. Denver’s defense has made a significant improvement, giving up just 12 touchdowns and racking up 18 interceptions in their last 8 games.
The Colts had a 7-6 season record going into this game. The Colts were defeated 34-14 by the Bengals in their most recent game on the football field. With a quarterback rating of 81.1, Gardner Minshew II (1 TD) finished the game with 240 yards via the air on 26/39 passes. The average yards per throw attempt he had was 6.2 yards, and he only had one pick. The Colts used Michael Pittman Jr. in their passing game; he caught 8 passes for 95 yards (11.9 yds per reception). Jonathan Taylor had thumb surgery a few weeks ago; the Colts will find out his status later this week, but he might return in time for this game. His predicted recovery period was 2 to 3 weeks, and that timeline fits with his expected comeback in Week 15. If he’s able to return, they’ll have another weapon to face the Steelers.
