"They have had the NFL's top-producing offense for weeks. They'd also enjoyed the largest point differential in the league, having been on the right side of several blowouts. But on Sunday in Pittsburgh, the Colts left Acrisure Stadium trying to explain a six-turnover performance in their ugliest game of the season. The lessons from this 27-20 loss to the Steelers will be harder to swallow. But they can also be useful if put to use in the right way."
"For just the second time this season, the Colts had a postgame scene that was not punctuated by the sound of blaring hip hop music, a clear indicator that things went well that day. Instead, the locker room was defined by players' measured words. There was urgency, but not panic."
""Losing makes you better in the long run," guard Quenton Nelson said. "As long as you f---ing learn from it. And that's what we're going to do.""
