Jaylen Warren put up 188 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday to lead the Steelers past the Colts 34-22, with the running back handling 101 rushing yards and a TD on 15 carries while adding six catches for 87 yards and another score. Per Pro Football Talk and Yahoo Sports, Warren accounted for his production through both phases. Behind the Steel Curtain reported that one of his touchdowns covered 80 yards, though the other outlets did not specify the length of either score.
The win steadied Pittsburgh after a loss at Cleveland on Oct. 1, putting the Steelers at 3-2 and into third place in the AFC North. The team had beaten Cincinnati the week before Cleveland, so the Indianapolis result snapped a one-game skid. Warren's performance gave Pittsburgh's offense significant weight in a game where the defense held Indianapolis to 22 points—not dominant, but enough to win by a two-score margin.
For the Colts, the loss on the road halted a two-game winning streak. Indianapolis had beaten Washington 30-13 and Houston 19-17 to move to 2-2 before this defeat left them at the same record, still in second place in the AFC South.
