Why the Colts’ Offensive Strategy Could Completely Dismantle the Steelers’ Defense This Sunday

The Steelers are probably about what we expected they would be. They enter this game with a 4-3 record. Their defense, as mentioned, is terrible, and probably the reason for the losses. They couldn’t get the stop needed against the Bengals, and they just allowed the Packers to get essentially anything they wanted in their last game. They had extra time to prepare for Green Bay and still couldn’t control that offense. Let’s look at the Steelers wins this season: the Jets in a tightly contested game, the Patriots by seven in New England, the Vikings overseas with Carson Wentz – winning by just three, and the Browns in Dillon Gabriel’s first start. Their losses? ‘The Seahawks, Bengals, and Packers. The Bengals had Joe Flacco starting for them, which is certainly better than Jake Browning, but not as good as Joe Burrow. In the last two games, the Steelers defense has allowed 68 points. The offense has been solid, scoring 20+ points in all but one game. Attacking the Colts isn’t impossible, but it is hard to see exactly the best opportunity. They have people pass against them more than run because the Colts offense has been so good which inflates the numbers a bit.
