Steelers Defense Forces Six Turnovers to Defeat Colts 27-20

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a surprising 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, who entered the game with the NFL's top offense. The Steelers' defense, which had struggled in previous weeks, forced six turnovers—three interceptions, a strip sack by T.J. Watt, and other key plays—that stifled the Colts after an early touchdown. Despite the Colts gaining 368 yards and converting five times on fourth down, their offense was held to just 20 points, tied for their lowest this season. The Steelers' defense was bolstered by new-look safeties and a strong pass rush, collectively recording five sacks and multiple turnovers. The win improved the Steelers to 5-3, showcasing a significant defensive turnaround that helped them overcome recent losses and silence critics. This performance was notable given the context of injuries and recent defensive woes, marking a critical step in Pittsburgh's season.
