The Indianapolis Colts handed the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers their first loss of the season with a 27-24 victory. Joe Flacco, the 39-year-old quarterback filling in for an injured Anthony Richardson, threw two touchdown passes and led the Colts to their second win of the season. Despite a late comeback attempt by the Steelers, the Colts' defense, bolstered by a key stop and a fumbled snap, secured the win. The Steelers now stand at 3-1, while the Colts improve to 2-2. The status of Colts' players Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor remains uncertain as they head into their next game against Jacksonville.
