Warren's brilliance leads the Steelers past the Colts 34-22
Context:
The Pittsburgh Steelers recovered from a prior setback to defeat the Indianapolis Colts 34-22, anchored by Jaylen Warren’s 188 total yards and two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving). Warren’s 80-yard catch-and-run early and a 50-yard rushing score in the third quarter boosted a steady Steelers offense led by a productive Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 235 yards and three scores. Pat Freiermuth contributed two receiving TDs, and Pittsburgh’s defense, while bendable, held when needed to maintain the lead as Indianapolis repeatedly stalled in Steelers territory. The win keeps Pittsburgh in the hunt as it prepares for a road test versus Tampa Bay, while the Colts look to rebound against Tennessee.
