Steelers Tuesday Aftermath: Ground Game, Pickett Make Comeback Sweeter

Steelers

The Pittsburg Steelers survived a slow start to the second half, as Kenny Pickett and unlikely hero Benny Snell helped the team rebound and come away with a late 24-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

? Steelers The win came with a cost, as Najee Harris is being evaluated for an abdominal injury. He left the game in the first half and did not return.

? Steelers Even without Harris, the Steelers still had their fourth consecutive game of success running the football.

? Steelers Benny Snell scored the game-winning touchdown after waiting a long time to get another shot at proving he belongs in the NFL.

? Steelers That go-ahead touchdown? Kenny Pickett made the recommendation to run that play during a timeout.

? Steelers That second-half comeback victory was the first of Kenny Pickett’s career. Given the poise and confidence he carries himself with, it probably won’t be the last.

? Steelers Homistek: Flash or fluke, Kenny Pickett just showed up against the Colts.

? Steelers Cam Sutton and Minkah Fitzpatrick made the game-sealing play for the Steelers defense.

? Steelers The Steelers defense kept Jonathan Taylor and the strong Colts running game out of the end zone when it mattered.

? Steelers For the second straight week, an opposing defense felt they were picking up on the Steelers play calls.

? Steelers Add another ridiculous catch to the George Pickens highlight reel.

? Steelers Pickett took two sacks in the first quarter, and at least one of them was his fault.

? Steelers Robert Spillane and Miles Boykin were both inactive after being listed as questionable.

? Steelers Cody White and Anthony McFarland Jr. were elevated from the practice squad.
