How Did Colts Pick Apart Steelers Defense? | Steelers Morning Rush

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's how the Indianapolis Colts and head coach Shane Steichen picked apart the Steelers defensive scheme. The Steelers played a lot of Nickel defense against the Colts, and they tried to hedge their best by using a defense that allows them to still protect against the run while in Nickel personnel: the spot-drop Cover 3. But Steichen was ready for it. Alan breaks down how the Colts were able to attack the Steelers defense and what they can do about it going forward. Learn more about your ad choices.
