It’s hyperbole – you know, hot-take conversation – to question the veracity of a team with an NFL-best 7-2 record. That’s who the Indianapolis Colts remained as they headed home Sunday evening after their latest face-plant against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Also: J.J. McCarthy made a promising return for the Vikings, and the Bears beat the Bengals in one of the season's wildest games.

The Bengals offense pulled off a miracle comeback in the final two minutes against the Bears, only to be let down by a historically bad defense that gave up a 58-yard game-winning TD pass with just 17 seconds left to play. Bo Nix led another wild fourth-quarter comeback for the Denver Broncos in an 18-15 win over the Houston Texans.

The Steelers go into today's game against the Indianapolis Colts missing multiple players. Safety Jabrill Peppers and receiver Scotty Miller are inactive after they were ruled out on Friday. In addition, safety Chuck Clark and linebacker Cole Holcomb were both ruled out on Saturday due to an illness and are inactive.

After not getting a turnover in three consecutive games, including back-to-back losses to the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers over the last two weeks, the Steelers exploded with six takeaways against the Colts on Sunday.

Pittsburgh has been known for defense over the years, but the Steel Curtain has been anything but immovable this season.
