Of course, the Colts are doing it without Andrew Luck, who has been on the shelf. Colts vs Steelers scores and results will be posted here. The Steelers on the other hand are fourth trailing only the Cardinals, Patriots, and Saints.

What channel is the Colts vs. Steelers game on? They want to run the ball, play great defense, make their chunk plays down the field. He’s just the third QB in the Super Bowl era to have won four-straight starts after turning 40 and he’s coming in with three-straight games with multiple TD passes.
A knee injury in the first quarter never gave him the opportunity.
Meanwhile, Allen has been a disappointment this season after he caught eight scores a year ago. On the ground Frank Gore rushed for 24 yards in 19 attempts. Good received expected mixed reviews from coach Chuck Pagano, who said he had “some rough moments” and “some moments when he dominated”.
In the air, the Colts have some weapons. Wideouts T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief are more than capable of using their speed and agility to get open consistently. Lest not forget about Andre Johnson now playing in Indianapolis.
This game will be highlighted by the Colts’ outstanding offense against the Steelers’ formidable defense. Castonzo has made 10 starts this season and will miss his second straight game. Last year, Roethlisberger set franchise records with 522 passing yards and six touchdowns in a 51-34 win against Indianapolis in Week 8. But the running game has been slow, especially without Luck’s contributions. This could bode well for DeAngelo Williams.
Announcers: Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth Annoyance factor: After the gibberish Phil Simms spewed last week for three hours (he actually said Pittsburgh “doesn’t miss” when drafting linebackers as their three most recent No. 1 picks, who are totally missing, proceeded to total three tackles between them), we don’t know how anyone can bad mouth Collinsworth.
Expect this…over 40 passes for Roethlisberger.
For the second week in a row, Sunday Night Football won’t feature the quarterback matchup those in charge of making the schedule had in mind. But Des Bryant has a few games under his belt now and professes to be feeling the best he has all season.
Intangibles: On paper and regarding team stats, this game appears to be a a possible high scoring affair for the Black and Gold.

An unsettled offensive line has contributed to the steady decline in the running game, but there’s no question defenses have loaded up against the run and taken their chances with the NFL’s oldest QB. Tomlin is experimenting with changes, including giving CB Brandon Boykin a shot even though Boykin spent much of the first three months of the season buried on the depth chart. There could be massive fireworks for Pittsburgh in front of their fans at Heinz Field. Pittsburgh is at home tonight. WEATHER REPORT: It should be a attractive night for football in Pittsburgh.
