Colts Edge Steelers 27-24 in Thriller

Joe Flacco stepped in for the injured Anthony Richardson and led the Indianapolis Colts to a 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, improving Indy's record to 2-2. Flacco threw two touchdown passes and finished with 168 yards, while Richardson initially played well but left the game due to a hip injury after just four plays. The Colts built a 17-0 lead, with Jonathan Taylor contributing a touchdown run, but the Steelers, led by Justin Fields, rallied back to narrow the gap. Fields threw for 312 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns but could not complete a comeback after a critical turnover on downs. Despite the loss, the Steelers remain strong at 3-1, while the Colts are finding momentum with their recent wins. The game showcased Flacco's ability to perform under pressure, raising questions about Indianapolis's quarterback situation moving forward.
