The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the road for their third road game in four contests to begin the 2024 season, this time to take on the Indianapolis Colts. Last year, Indy made mincemeat out of Pittsburgh as they handed Mike Tomlin's team a 30-13 loss. Now it's time for revenge.

Unfortunately, the Steelers will be short-handed in this contest as they sustained multiple injuries in their Week 3 victory over the Chargers. The most notable loss this week is Alex Highsmith, who has offered consistent run support and pressure on the quarterback in recent years.

To make it four straight on the road, Pittsburgh may need to rely on a fairly officiated contest by the referee crew today. Let's dive into the announcers and referees for today's Week 4 AFC showdown.

Announcers for Steelers vs. Colts

  • Network: CBS
  • Play-by-play: Spero Dedes
  • Color commentary: Adam Archuleta
  • Sideline reporter: Aditi Kinkhabwala

After drawing CBS' top broadcast crew of Jim Nantz and Tony Romo, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a less-than-popular matchup among today's slate of games. Today, Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta will be announcing. Dedes is the play-by-play analyst and Archuleta is the color commentator. They will be accompanied by sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala.

With a crowded slate of games in the early window today, only a fraction of the country will be getting the Steelers vs. Colts game on their local CBS broadcast. Other parts of the country will be watching the Broncos vs. Jets, Vikings vs. Packers, or Jaguars vs. Texans on their local CBS station. Check out our guide on how to watch today's game.

Referees for Steelers vs. Colts

Head Referee (Crew Chief)

Today's lead official will be Land Clark. Clark is in his fifth season as a lead referee and began his NFL officiating career as a field judge in 2018. Through three games in 2024, Clark's crew has let the laundry fly 50 times -- throwing 25 penalties on the offense and 25 on the defense.

With over 16.6 penalties per game and 134 penalty yards distributed per contest, Clark is currently throwing three more penalties per game than the NFL average, accompanied by just over 25 additional penalty yards per game. Brace yourself for a flag-happy contest with a lot of clock stoppages.

Referee: Land Clark
Umpire: Paul King
Down Judge: Tom Stephan
Line Judge: Jeff Hucheon
Field Judge: Jabir Walker
Side Judge: Dominique Pender
