Week 9 Colts vs. Steelers Game Thread

The Indianapolis Colts are on the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 0 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. EST.

Once again the 2025 Indianapolis Colts won last weekends game by multiple scores. The final score was Colts 38, Titans 14. But the final score doesn’t tell the whole story, it never does. What might seem obvious: the Tennessee Titans are seemingly, desperately vying for the number one overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. In the salary cap era this has only been accomplished four times, the Cincinnati Bengals (‘94-’95), the Browns (‘99-’00),...

Where to Watch: Colts at Steelers for Week 9

Where to Watch: Colts at Steelers for Week 9

The Indianapolis Colts (7-1)(-3) travel to ‘The Steel City’ to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3), at what’s been a notoriously difficult road environment for the Horseshoe to play at historically throughout franchise history.

Even ignoring the 1995 AFC Championship Game, the Colts are 1-13 all-time at Pittsburgh during the regular season, and their last and lone win was on November 9, 2009, with Indianapolis narrowly winning, 24-20.

Kickoff will be 1 PM EST and will be aired on CBS, with Ian Eagle (play-by-play), J.J. Watt (analyst), and Evan Washburn (sideline) on the call. It can also be streamed on...

Colts activate former starting CB off IR for depleted secondary ahead of Steelers game

Colts activate former starting CB off IR for depleted secondary ahead of Steelers game

On Saturday, the Indianapolis Colts announced that they have activated cornerback Jaylon Jones off injured reserve and signed fellow cornerback Cameron Mitchell from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster.

The Colts also announced that they elevated defensive end Durell Nchami and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell from the practice squad to the active roster.

Indianapolis also waived linebacker Chad Muma and safety Trey Washington in corresponding roster moves.

Regarding Jones, he should be a welcome addition to the Colts secondary at outside cornerback—even if he finds himself on an initial pitch count against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Originally a 2023...

Colts Reacts Survey Results: Week 9 at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Indianapolis Colts (7-1) are one of the hottest teams in all of football, sitting atop the entire AFC.

However, they’ll face arguably one of their toughest tasks yet when they travel to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) this weekend.

The Steelers are by no means a great team these days, but the Indianapolis Colts as a franchise are 1-13 all-time at Pittsburgh during the regular season. The Colts sole and last win at Pittsburgh was on November 9, 2008, when Indianapolis narrowly won 24-20.

Right now, 97% of Colts fans believe that the franchise is headed in the...

Will the Ballard Era Colts finally be active at the NFL Trade Deadline?

Will the Ballard Era Colts finally be active at the NFL Trade Deadline?

Indianapolis, IN — Under general manager Chris Ballard, the Indianapolis Colts have historically avoided the mid-season headache that the NFL trade deadline brings. Partly because there are oftentimes more losers than winners across these deadline deals, but mainly because the Colts have, for the most part, not been in a position to add talent.

The lone example of Ballard and Co. selling or buying at the deadline was when Indy traded away longtime Colts running back Nyheim Hines for running back Zack Moss and a conditional sixth-round pick. Even then, this move was more so a fulfillment of Hines’ trade...

Colts are looking to buck the trend against the Steelers

Colts are looking to buck the trend against the Steelers

The red hot Indianapolis Colts are taking their talents on the road as they meet up with the semi-spiraling Pittsburgh Steelers. For eleven years the Colts couldn’t win week one. That streak finally broke and with it, the floodgates seemed to open as Indianapolis is running through opponents like a Manning-style buzzsaw. The attention now turns to other streaks (I will see you later Jaguars road game) like the current four game losing streak against the Steelers in Pittsburgh. With eight wins total against them in franchise history, the situation has been bleak, but with good fortune on their side,...

5 Questions with Behind the Steel Curtain: Can the Pittsburgh D slow the Indy O?

In Week 9 of 2025 our Indianapolis Colts will travel to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Knowing the party was hitting the road, I sat down with Ryan Parish of Behind the Steel Curtain, SB Nation’s Steelers blog. You can find him on Twitter @RyanParishmedia.

Colts’ Players to Watch: Week 9 @Steelers

Colts’ Players to Watch: Week 9 @Steelers

Jaylon Jones

This will be Jones’ first game back from his IR stint dealing with a hamstring injury. He joins a secondary that is desperate at cornerback, so even average play would be a huge upgrade over what we currently have. There could be some rust, and more than him playing lights out I just hope he can stay healthy and play a decent amount of snaps. I’m also curious how his hamstring will hold up trying to cover a receiver as fast and physical as D.K. Metcalf.

I don’t think there is much left to...

Jonathan Taylor runs wild to earn AFC Player of the Month

Jonathan Taylor runs wild to earn AFC Player of the Month

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for October.

The engine driving the NFL’s top offense capped off an astonishing four-game stretch with another phenomenal performance to reassert his status as one of the premier playmakers in the league. Taylor’s numbers in October were a nightmare against opposing defenses. Over the past four games, Taylor racked up 529 rushing yards and 10 total touchdowns, leading the Colts to a perfect 4-0 record during the month.

Taylor scored three touchdowns in three of those four contests, joining a short list of NFL legends...
