Indianapolis Colts 27, Pittsburgh Steelers 24

One of the last undefeated teams in the NFL no longer exists, as the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 3-0 (27:24).

Even with Anthony Richardson exited in the first quarter due to a hip injury, Joe Flacco was effective coming off the bench. Additionally, the Colts’ defense made enough plays as time expired to fend off a Pittsburgh turnover and got a stop on fourth-and-10 to seal the game. On this day, the Steelers offense was limited to just -0.083 EPA/game.

PFF’s dedicated team of evaluators worked hard, analyzing each player on every play in real time. Grades and data will be available tomorrow at 12pm EST after a thorough review.
