Does Anybody Really Remember How The Colts High-Powered Offense Beat The Steelers?

The Pittsburgh Steelers fell behind 7-0 after giving up an 80 yard touch down on the Colts first play from scrimmage. After that, the Steelers forced the Colts to settle for four field goals rather than touchdowns , and the only other Indianapolis TD was created by coach Bill Cowher's unsuccessful gamble to start the second half with an onside kickoff. The Pittsburgh Steelers defense decided to play with five defensive backs to neutralize Peyton Manning's passing attack. That left nose tackle Casey Hampton off the field and Colts' running back, Edgerrin James was able to rush for 124 yards. It was the only 100-yard game against the Steelers all season. The Steelers don't plan on letting that happen again. They'll play a lot more of their signature 3/4 defense with Hampton in the middle. Stopping James and pressuring Manning will be the top priorities. Also in that game Ben Roethlisberger did not play well and wasn't fully recovered from his injuries. Ben is healthy now and the Steelers are playing the best they've played all season. It should be a very different game on Sunday. Get the rest of the story.

I'm going to the Colts game this week. Does anyone know where all the Steeler fans will be tailgating? Thanks.
