While it was suspected that the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ Week 4 matchup could be a potential trap game, it has now been reported that their opponent, the Indianapolis Colts, will be missing two of their best players on the defensive side of the ball.
A little over a week ago, news broke that Colts’ star defensive tackle, DeForest Buckner, would miss at least the next four games after being placed on IR. As if the Colts couldn’t give Pittsburgh an even easier defensive unit to beat down, Colts’ young star edge rusher Kwity Paye and one of the best slot corners in the league, Kenny Moore II, will miss the important AFC matchup this Sunday.
Per Coach Steichen, CB Kenny Moore II and DE Kwity Paye have been ruled out for #PITvsIND.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have no excuses when they meet the Colts in Indianapolis on September 29th at 1:00 PM EST. While the undefeated team will be facing more than a few offensive dynamic players, Pittsburgh boasts the number one overall defense in the league, and now the offense should get a much-needed layup against a battered Week 4 opponent.
