Colts-Steelers live game scores today: Indianapolis 17, Pittsburgh 0

The Indianapolis Colts host the Pittsburgh Steelers today in NFL Week 4 action. Expect vastly different offensive approaches.

Anthony Richardson leads a Colts (1-2) offense that requires big swings, but also misses a lot at times. Richardson has completed fewer than half of his passes, but has five connections of at least 40 yards that leads the league. He has thrown three touchdowns and made a run for another, but he has thrown a league-leading six interceptions. The Colts only have 2 drives of at least 5 minutes and are the last in possession of the ball per game. Injuries also make them weak on defense.

Justin Fields leads an old-school Steelers offense (3-0). Pittsburgh has had eight drives that took more than five minutes, but only three touchdowns. Chris Boswell has 10 field goals, tied for the most in the league. Pittsburgh’s defense was particularly stout, allowing just 8.7 points and 229.7 yards per game. TJ Watt (3 sacks) is always a passing threat.

Richardson runs 16 yards, but fumbles after taking a shot. Colts center Tanor Bortolini recovers the fumble, but Richardson leaves the game clutching his right hip. He returns after two plays, runs the ball on his first snap and takes another hit, this time from helmet to helmet after a gain of 1 meter. Richardson now goes to the locker room.

The Colts list him as questionable due to a hip injury.

7:19 left 1Q: Colts have the ball at their 14 after a Pittsburgh punt.
