The Pittsburgh Steelers tore their way to victory against the Indianapolis Colts on the road Monday night, 24-17, thanks to a go-ahead touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
Kenny Pickett led the Steelers on an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a Benny Snell touchdown run and a successful two-point talk attempt thanks to a pass to George Pickens. Pittsburgh took a seven-point lead with 9:44 remaining in the game and never looked back. Pickett had a 13-yard pass to Snell and a 17-yard pass to Pat Freiermuth to help set up the touchdown.

The Steelers’ defense would stop the late prosecution of Matt Ryan.
Pickett finished 20-for-28 with 174 passing yards. He was fired three times. Snell rushed for 62 yards after getting the majority of the carries when Najee Harris left the game with an abdominal injury. Harris had 35 rushing yards with a touchdown before leaving.
Pickens led the Steelers with three catches for 57 yards. Diontae Johnson had five catches for 49 yards.
The Colts buried themselves early with a handful of crucial errors.
Ryan was intercepted by Steelers cornerback James Pierre on his second pitch of the game. After that drive, Indianapolis punted twice and kicked a field goal. An earlier field goal attempt was blocked.

The Colts tried to get back into the game down 16-3.
Colts kick returner Dallis Flowers returned the ensuing kickoff 89 yards and four plays later Jonathan Taylor was in the end zone to cut the deficit to just six points. But on their next drive, the momentum was lost after a fumble on a poor pass from Ryan to Taylor.
