“Good win for us on a short week on the road,” Tomlin said. “We don’t take it for granted, we appreciate it, but it was much needed. We got contributions from a lot of guys. Really appreciate the efforts of the men tonight. It’s great to be in the clubhouse with the necessary win for the week.”
And the Steelers got the win with another heavy dose of defense and an impromptu practice session set up by the coach.
First the defense: The Steelers turned away the Colts at the 1-yard line on two consecutive drives — one late in the second quarter and the other early in the third — that put to waste drives of 10 and 19 plays. The defense also picked off backup quarterback*Scott Tolzientwice and sacked him three times.
Now, the impromptu practice: With the Steelers saddled with a short week and only having one practice on Tuesday (which was helmet-less) and a walkthrough on Wednesday, Tomlin decided to bring his team to the stadium in the early afternoon Thursday for another walkthrough — something that’s highly unusual for teams to do.
“Nah, I never did that before,” linebacker*Bud Dupree*admitted.
It must’ve had its desired effect, especially with an offense that continued to do what it has been doing against the Colts recently — anything they want to.
