The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Indianapolis Colts Sunday after a bye week with plenty of news.

The Steelers usually aren’t one for drama, but with the series of events that have taken place during this season, they used the bye week to put their headlines behind them. With Martavis Bryant returning to the team and JuJu Smith-Schuster upgrading from the bike, there’s no knowing what the Steelers’ offense will look like in Week 10.

Indianapolis, despite creating much more of this season than expected, has a long way to go before they’re ready for Pittsburgh. With Andrew Luck shut down for the season, it appears this team is about ready to call it quits.

A game on the road after a bye week usually means a trap. Pittsburgh is known for playing down to opponents, which could leave worry for many Steelers fans. This one’s different. With homefield advantage in sight, this is now  the time for this team to truly start playing.

Despite a 6-2 record, the Steelers have not lived up to expectations this season. Ben Roethlisberger is yet to find his breakout game and despite a solid passing attack, there are still some issues with throwing the ball.

This should be the game where everyone finds their stride. The second half of the season is now upon them and with this much on the line, every game is a must win for Pittsburgh. Even if they’re notoriously known to blow games like this, expect nothing but a strong effort as the Steelers travel to Indianapolis.
