The Steelers hosted the Colts on Sunday in a battle between two likely AFC playoff teams, and Pittsburgh made a statement. Thanks to the best defensive performance of the season the Steelers completely stifled an Indianapolis offense that had been producing at elite levels under Daniel Jones leading into Week 9. But while the Steelers’ offense played well enough they still needed some help from their counterparts to seal the win—and it came from a very familiar name.
Thanks to an ill-advised Roman Wilson hurdle that turned into a fumble the Colts had the ball with just under two minutes remaining and trailing the Steelers, 27-17. Jones dropped back to pass and tried to force the ball to Alec Pierce. Pittsburgh DB Joey Porter Jr. was waiting and jumped right in front of Pierce to intercept the ball. It was a great play that effectively sealed the Steelers’ win.
