Pittsburgh Steelers Suffer First Loss of the Season to Indianapolis Colts
The Pittsburgh Steelers faced a disappointing defeat against the Indianapolis Colts, resulting in their first loss of the season with a score of 27-24. The game highlighted significant defensive struggles for the Steelers, with former NFL defensive end Chris Canty labeling them as 'frauds' after the performance. Key mistakes and a slow offensive start plagued the Steelers, with quarterback Justin Fields unable to deliver a comeback despite making franchise history. Coach Mike Tomlin's questionable decisions, including the use of timeouts, were criticized, as was the team's overall practice habits. Fields shoulders some of the blame for a botched snap in the crucial moments of the game. Despite the setback, Fields demonstrated potential that may keep him in the starting role. Steelers safety emphasized the need for the team to work harder in practice to avoid self-inflicted wounds moving forward.
