Warren and Rodgers make the big plays

Shrader opened the scoring with a 57-yard kick midway through the first quarter. Twelve seconds of game clock later, Aaron Rodgers found Warren, who went 80 yards for a 7-3 lead. Shrader replied from 56 yards, and Rodgers hit Pat Freiermuth from a yard out early in the second quarter.

Indianapolis drew within 14-13 when tight end Tyler Warren ran in from a yard out with 7:43 left in the half, and Chris Boswell’s 48-yard field goal with 21 seconds left sent Pittsburgh to the break up 17-13. Jaylen Warren’s 50-yard touchdown run with 7:06 left in the third quarter restored an eight-point lead.

The Colts got within 24-22 on Shrader’s 28-yard field goal with 11:42 to play. Rodgers then led a drive that ended with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Freiermuth at the 6:35 mark, and Boswell made it a two-score game from 54 yards with 3:43 left. The Colts’ last real chance ended with a turnover on downs.

Warren finished with 101 rushing yards on 15 carries and 87 receiving yards on 6 catches, 188 yards from scrimmage in all. Rodgers completed 22 of 31 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, and Germie Bernard caught 6 passes for 80 yards. Freiermuth had 5 receptions for 44 yards and both of his scores.

Colts move the ball, but stall

Daniel Jones threw 44 passes, completing 24 for 267 yards, without a touchdown or an interception. Indianapolis converted only 4 of 15 third downs, and Jonathan Taylor was held to 45 yards on 15 carries. Tyler Warren led the Colts with 7 catches for 83 yards, and Keenan Allen, who was cleared to play after being listed as questionable, had 5 catches for 45 yards.

Shrader made all five of his field-goal attempts, from 57, 56, 22, 40 and 28 yards, and scored 16 of the Colts’ 22 points. Linebacker Payton Wilson led Pittsburgh with 10 tackles, two of them for a loss.

Pittsburgh won despite losing two receivers during the game. The Steelers ruled out Roman Wilson with a finger injury and Ben Skowronek with a calf injury, leaving Rodgers with a short list of targets for the rest of the afternoon.
