Indianapolis Colts Form

A 17-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last time out extended the Indianapolis Colts’ miserable run of form in the league, leaving the hosts with four defeats in five games. They are 4-6 in their past 10 games and 2-3 in the last five at home.

Scoring clearly isn’t where the Indianapolis Colts’ A-game lies. The offense has only put 15.7 points on board, which is one of the league’s worst points averages. On the other side of the ball, the defense has been relatively average in the league recently. The hosts have given up 19.8 points in the previous five outings, which is more or less on par with the 20.0 points they’ve allowed per game over the course of the regular season.

This year, the Indianapolis Colts hoped to go far into the playoffs. However, 11 matches into the current regular season, the hosts are only 4-6 and won’t be around when January football gets underway unless, of course, they can turn things around quickly.

Pittsburgh Steelers Form

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has been abysmal all season. It has put up just 17.0 points per game and they saw no improvement in the last five matches, which produced an average of 18.6 points. A below-average defense isn’t what any traveling team wants to hear, but that’s how it is for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The visitors have allowed a nerve-wracking 24.4 points per game this year.

In 2021, the Pittsburgh Steelers came home in second place in the AFC North standings after going 9-8 across all games. The visitors naturally hope to go even better this season. However, like every other team in the NFL, sealing a spot in the playoffs during this regular season is the first and foremost priority for now.
