PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh Steelers await kickoff as they try to start the season 4-0. And before they even get to Indianapolis, the Colts are adding message board material to Pittsburgh’s arsenal.

The Steelers fan base is known for many things, but traveling with the team and bringing their Terrible Towels are at the top of the list. In Indianapolis, that remains the plan, and Pittsburgh fans are expected to make the six-hour trip and add some black and gold to the sea of ​​blue at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin takes some early photos of those arriving.

“Hopefully we can steal some terrible towels,” Franklin told WTHR. “Maybe I’ll try to get one myself. We’ll see.’

It’s like no one is paying attention to the history of disrespecting the Terrible Towel. The Jacksonville Jaguars are still recovering, and they’re just the latest casualty in a long line of teams that were never the same after attacking the team’s flag.

And if you had to guess, TJ Watt, Cam Heyward and the rest of the Steelers locker room took Franklin’s words personally this week.

Meanwhile, the Steelers are dealing with a few injuries heading into the weekend and have officially lost one of their key offensive players. How do they replace him? We have an idea.
