Roethlisberger and Brown lead Steelers to Victory
Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown combined for three touchdowns on Thursday as the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense shut down the Indianapolis Colts, handing them a 28-7 beatdown.
The Steelers (6-5) improved their playoff chances with a second consecutive win and ended a four-game losing streak on Thanksgiving Day.
Andrew Luck, the Colts' quarterback, remained on the bench due to a concussion, and his absence was noticeable as the first winning streak of the season for Indianapolis was cut short.
Although his replacement, Scott Tolzien, held up for most of the night, his performance was not good enough to extend the Colts' 10-game winning streak in Thursday night games.
