The Steelers exited their bye week by sleep-walking through the first half but were able to turn things around in the second half and came away from Indianapolis with a victory.
Things started poorly with a deep pass for Bryant that was underthrown and picked off.

#Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger throws deep ball and Pierre Desir makes spectacular, diving INT. Amazing how many people immediately point finger at Martavis Bryant because he was the intended target. Pass underthrown and inside.

Nothing much was happening in the first quarter.
Colts have a sack and INT of Roethlisberger in the 1st quarter. Didn't get either in the last 3 meetings.

On third-and-18, the #Steelers run. And don't convert. Coming off their bye, 14 minutes into this game, the Steelers have 36 yards of offense.

The game broke open when Donte Moncrief toasted Artie Burns on a double-move and Mike Mitchell wasn’t even in the same zip code to help over the top.

I’m a fan of Tomlin.
But his team looks like dog💩.
They stink out of byes and against crap teams.
Maybe I️ shouldn’t be a Tomlin Fan.

Missed. Tackles.

defense should stop doing the "miss tackle" play.
— nicholas. (@psamp) November 12, 2017
The offense wasn’t much better.
Any play that requires Bryant to start out running east-west should prolly have its feet tied in concrete and thrown in the Allegheny

This game look familiar? Last time Steelers returned from bye, they had 66 net yards in the first half and trailed 10-0 at Baltimore Ravens last November
— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) November 12, 2017
The Steelers got a field goal before halftime but the Colts came out in the third quarter and hit another bomb with Mike Mitchell looking completely clueless as the deep safety.

And can we end the Mike Mitchell at safety experiment. I'd much rather have someone that knows how to cover
— Axel Trolley (@Phaze215) November 12, 2017
I’d say the offense is worse than the defense and that’s saying something given how atrocious this secondary has been
— Scott Salerno (@sasalerno) November 12, 2017
Just an amazing trend with the Steelers sucking on the road against garbage teams. Every time, it seems.
— Brian McElhinny (@rtjr) November 12, 2017
The writers for this season of "The Steelers" are really just recycling the lose to a bad team on the road story line again?

Ben to Juju. TD. Juju is becoming a serious force in this offense. Thank goodness. #Steelers cut lead to 17-9 after great hustle by Boswell & James to stop a return. #Steelers

Point after was blocked. I swear this team is asking to lose in the most embarrassing ways. #Steelers

The #Steelers special teams highlight of the year is the fact they have two tight ends who each prevented a kick block return. What a year.
— Neal Coolong (@NealCoolong) November 12, 2017
The Steelers defense possibly had a turnover on the next drive, but the play was ruled down by forward progress.
https://twitter.com/fsmikey/status/929802890960670721
In past four games the Steelers and their No. 2 pass defense have allowed completions of 43, 44, 57, 60 and 61 yards.

The defense made a play when Ryan Shazier made an unreal interception off a tipped ball.

With the score 17-15, the Steelers had to go for 2 to try to tie the game, but spent a timeout then were called for a delay of game when they couldn’t figure out which play to run.
a timeout followed by a delay of game on a 2-point conversion attempt is Peak Steelers
