Matchup to watch: Steelers run defense vs. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor. Pittsburgh held the Indianapolis star to just 45 yards on 14 carries in last season's win. The challenge could be more difficult this time around without second-year defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, who was placed on injured reserve this week. The Steelers struggled with tackling last week in Cleveland, though they're hoping the short week was to blame. If the Colts control the line of scrimmage, it means they won't have to put the ball in the hands of mistake-prone QB Daniel Jones, who turned it over five times in Pittsburgh last November.

Stats and stuff

– The Steelers are 21-3 at home against Indianapolis and haven't lost to the Colts at Acrisure Stadium since 2008.

– Indy's defense has allowed only three touchdowns and 30 points in its past two games after allowing 74 points in its first two games.

– Colts WR Keenan Allen needs three receptions to pass former Indianapolis great Reggie Wayne for 11th on the league's career list. Allen did not play last week because of a groin injury. Wayne finished with 1,070 catches before joining the Colts coaching staff.

– Taylor needs one touchdown to move into third place on the team's career list. He is currently tied with Wayne for 82 scores in his career.

– Steelers edge rusher TJ Watt has 4.5 sacks in four games this season and 6.5 sacks in seven games against the Colts, the most Watt's had against any non-AFC North opponent.

– Rodgers is just 2-4 all time against the Colts, though his individual numbers tell a different story. Rodgers has thrown for 13 touchdown passes against three picks when facing Indianapolis.

– Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is 59 yards away from becoming the second undrafted running back in franchise history to reach 3,000 yards.
