? Spero Dedes (play-by-play), Adam Archuleta (color) and Aditii Kinkhabwala (sideline) will call the Steelers-Colts game for CBS. The same crew called the Steelers’ Week 2 game against the Denver Broncos.
? Pete Prisco of CBS Sports admits that he was wrong about the Steelers. He said prior to the season that Pittsburgh was the worst team in the division.
Things the Steelers have been able to do this season:
– Start 3-0
– Allow 10-or-fewer points in each game
– First place in the AFC North

? Nick Herbig was also impressive in the run game on Sunday.
Herbig taking on 550lbs of double team… Crafty to reduce surface on outside guy (falls on face) and then to re-establish hat/leverage outside vs 83.
And in the end… CB free to make TFL.
We know he can rush the passer… the run defense will earn him real play time pic.twitter.com/2rIwIgzSo9

The beginning of the longest winning streak in Steelers history
Played in the aftermath of Hurricane Jeanne, the teams rely mostly on the run in the rain as @_BigBen7 starts slow but finishes strong. pic.twitter.com/6raWmI4pxB
