Brown scores 3 TDs for Steelers in 28-7 win over Colts

The Steelers won 45-10.

As in minutes: seconds the Colts had the ball on two scoreless drives ending at the Steelers’ goal line.

The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Indiana Colts in one of the National Football League games on Thursday, start time at 8:30 PM ET, at Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana. Quarterback Andrew Luck is in the concussion protocol after reporting symptoms after the Colts win against Tennessee Sunday.

The Thanksgiving NFL tripleheader concludes with an AFC battle between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Indianapolis Colts.

Jack and Jill and Pual Blart: Mall Cop are Thanksgiving-centered movies and they might even be more entertaining than the Steelers-Colts game. They are 1-6 all-time on Thanksgiving Day and haven’t won on the holiday in 66 years. Wide receiver Antonio Brown has only snagged two touchdowns in the last five weeks, but he will have a field day against the Indianapolis secondary and should haul in two touchdowns in this game alone.

Moncrief’s touchdown reception was the fifth of the season and he is quietly becoming one of the NFL’s best red zone threats.

While the Colts have had one of the league’s best receiving corps to fall back on, Indianapolis’ running game has done him no favors. On the very first play of the half the Colts threw a four-yard pass to Hilton, but soon after that he headed to the sidelines, went to the bench, and is now out for the game with a back injury. The Steelers also come in needing a win to leapfrog the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, and with Luck missing they will fancy their chances.

For the Colts, miss opportunity will be the story of the game.

With Luck out, the Steelers are 8 1/2-point favorites to win this game. Bell had 36 touches against the Browns – 28 carries and eight receptions – and produced his fourth career 200-yard scrimmage game. Burns has two interceptions in Pittsburgh’s past three games, Davis has rapidly gone from lost backup to first string and Hargrave recovered a fumble for a TD in Cleveland.

The Colts may be down a man, but the Steelers can’t take anything for granted. Arthur Moats had 1.5 and James Harrison, Lawrence Timmons and Ryan Shazier each had one.

Hilton has made each of the last two Pro Bowls, establishing himself as the Colts’ primary weapon in the passing attack.

With this game expected to be a shootout, having Luck ride the bench due to a concussion may spell doom for Indy before this game even starts. He was sacked three times. Here are a couple questions that will be answered Thursday night.

Ladarius Green-I expect this to be the week that he finally steps up and has a big game and gets his Steeler career going. Scott Tolzien will start in his place.
