The Indianapolis Colts packed a big win on the other side of the pond and headed back to American soil for Week 5. With a 2-2 record, Shane Steichen's team will look to make it three in a row in another road matchup.
This time, Daniel Jones and company will square off against a Pittsburgh Steelers team that recently lost to the once-lowly Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football in Week 4. Pittsburgh will have more days of rest than Indy, but it isn't a better team.
All jokes aside, the Steelers had more time to rest and prepare for this game. Considering that, the Colts may have to turn to unsung heroes to avoid jet lag and get their third win of the season. Here are the likeliest candidates.
4 Indianapolis Colts players who may shock the world in Week 5
Jaylahn Tuimoloau
With Arden Key out with a hamstring injury, Jaylahn Tuimoloau has a golden opportunity to not only claim the starting job but also prove that he's not a bust. He has been a non-factor on defense this season, though he has made a couple of nice special teams plays, so there's that.
The former second-round pick has logged five total pressures in 53 pass-rush snaps. The Steelers are coming off giving up five sacks and don't have a reliable offensive line anymore, so maybe this will finally be his long-awaited signature game.
Justin Walley
Justin Walley went from being a problem to a solution. He struggled mightily in the first two games of the season, especially in Week 1, but he's slowly turning the corner and finally showing why the team was so high on him before the start of the season.
Browns rookie safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren had some big pass breakups in the big nickel role in Week 4, and with Aaron Rodgers not pushing the ball downfield as often as he used to, Walley will have his hands full in this one. He has a somewhat easier matchup with Roman Wilson.
Adetomiwa Adebawore
Three of the Browns' sacks in Week 4 came from the interior of the defensive line. Steelers guards struggled mightily to contain the Browns' defensive tackle's bull rush, and Adetomiwa Adebawore has been one of the most pleasant surprises in Indianapolis this season.
He's been a joy to watch next to DeForest Buckner, so while watching him thrive wouldn't necessarily be surprising, he's still not getting enough recognition. He's logged 2.0 sacks in the past couple of games, and he might finally draw some national attention after this one.
