The Indianapolis Colts lost their third game of the season by a 23-
20 margin to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Colts defense totaled
three turnovers, including a 47-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown
by defensive end Jamaal Anderson and finished the game
plus-two in turnover margin. Indianapolis’ defense also held the
Steelers to 67 rushing yards on 28 carries (2.4 avg.). The Colts
held a 13-10 halftime lead on Anderson’s touchdown and two field
goals from Adam Vinatieri. Following a scoreless third quarter,
Pittsburgh added a field goal and a Troy Polamalu fumble recovery
for a touchdown to take a 20-13 lead. Quarterback Curtis
Painter entered the game for an injured Kerry Collins and engineered
an 80-yard drive which culminated into a Joseph Addai
six-yard touchdown run to tie the game. The Steelers however
were able to take the ensuing kickoff 60 yards down field to set
up Shaun Suisham’s game-winning field goal with four seconds
remaining in the contest.
