Ben Roethlisberger Critiques Colts' Shane Steichen After Steelers Victory
The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a 34-22 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, benefiting from a mini-bye week while the Colts returned from London without a home game. This win improved the Steelers' record to 3-2 in the 2026 season.
Despite the final score, the game was not as competitive as it appeared. The Colts struggled to score touchdowns, with kicker Spencer Shrader being the standout player, successfully converting all five of his field goals. The Colts' only touchdown came from a rushing play by Tyler Warren in the second quarter.
Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger criticized Steichen's strategy during a podcast, suggesting that the Colts should have taken more risks instead of settling for field goals. Roethlisberger's comments reflect a broader concern about Steichen's decision-making, especially as the Colts face pressure to secure a playoff spot this season.
