Some Pittsburgh Steelers fans held a makeshift funeral for the team’s defense Sunday outside Acrisure Stadium. As it turns out, the eulogy was a little premature — as the defense posted six takeaways and five sacks on the way to rattling the Colts’ offense and a 27-20 win. Indianapolis Star...

A Jekyll-and-Hyde first half of the NFL season concluded with the Pittsburgh Steelers holding a two-game lead for first place in the AFC North. That fact was nearly as surprising as the result Sunday at Acrisure Stadium. The good side of the Steelers was on display in a 27-20 victory...
