5 Colts Things: Everything uncharacteristic about Week 9 offense, defense holds strong against Aaron Rodgers and fourth down aggressiveness

In a challenging game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Indianapolis Colts' star running back Jonathan Taylor struggled, managing only 45 yards on 14 carries. The Steelers' defense dominated, limiting Taylor's opportunities and forcing the Colts to rely on their passing game. Despite the struggles, wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce had breakout games, both surpassing the 100-yard mark. However, turnovers by quarterback Daniel Jones, including three interceptions and two lost fumbles, proved costly. The Colts' defense held the Steelers to just over 200 yards of offense, but the turnovers made it difficult to mount a comeback. Notably, Colts head coach Shane Steichen demonstrated aggressive decision-making by successfully going for it on five fourth down attempts, a trend gaining popularity around the league.
