✍️ The Indianapolis Colts' offense, which was averaging 3.46 points per drive, was slowed down by the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense in Week 9. The Steelers used a new defensive strategy, including split-safety coverage and moving Jalen Ramsey to safety, to pressure Colts QB Daniel Jones and limit their scoring opportunities.
👉 The Steelers used split-safety coverage on a season-high 46.4% of dropbacks against the Colts. 👉 Jalen Ramsey was moved to safety for a career-high 84% of snaps, allowing the Steelers to blend coverages and disguise more in the secondary. 👉 The Steelers' defense pressured Colts QB Daniel Jones on a season-high 18 dropbacks, leading to five sacks and two interceptions. 👉 The Colts' offense was still able to move the ball through the air, but was unable to sustain drives and score points. 👉 The Steelers' defense deserves credit for their game plan and execution, but it's unclear if this is a blueprint for stopping the Colts' offense.
