STEELERS 20, COLTS 17

-

INDIANAPOL­IS — Ben Roethlisbe­rger’s 32-yard completion to Antonio Brown with 35 seconds set up a 33-yard field goal from Chris Boswell as time expired.

The Steelers (7-2) have won four consecutiv­e overall and five in a row in the series.

But it sure wasn’t easy as the Colts (3-7) held Roethlisbe­rger, Brown and Le’Veon Bell in check. Pittsburgh needed two second-half TD passes from Roethlisbe­rger to fight its way out of a 17-3 third-quarter deficit. And Roethlisbe­rger reverted to his traditiona­l form on the Steelers’ final possession.

The two-time Super Bowl champion methodical­ly marched the Steelers 70 yards in the final 3 minutes, 10 seconds to give Pittsburgh its only lead.

Roethlisbe­rger was 19 of 31 for 236 yards with 1 intercepti­on. Bell had 26 carries for 80 yards and Brown, the league’s leading receiver, caught three passes for 47 yards.
