Week 13, December 6th: at Steelers, 8:30 PM EST on NBC (Sunday Night Football)
The Colts have struggled against elite quarterbacks in recent seasons, and it’s hard to shake off (or forget) the 51-34 beatdown the team suffered in Week 8 of last season due to the 522 passing yards and 6 touchdowns of Ben Roethlisberger, in what was an all-time historic passing day for Big Ben.
The Colts will likely want a rematch on national television and hopefully, their defense will fare much better the 2nd time around in as many seasons. The Steelers are led by the legs of Le’Veon Bell offensively, who’s one of the best running backs in the NFL, but they also feature the equally as dangerous Antonio Brown at wideout. This one has the makings of another offensive shootout, let’s just hope it ends in the Colts favor.
As mentioned, the Colts were left blue in the face, as they fell 51-34 to the Steelers in Week 8 of last season.
