In this week’s “Madden Monday” podcast, Mark Madden and I discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 26-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts Sunday at Heinz Field.
On the plus side, the Steelers’ pass rush was fantastic, the special teams stepped up, they created turnovers against a club that never gives them away, the running back depth was good, and Mason Rudolph may have taken another step forward.
On the minus side, they gave the ball back too often, JuJu Smith-Schuster continues to wander, Mike Tomlin has no clue how to challenge, and Indianapolis tried to give the game away.
And the Steelers almost refused to take it.
We also look at the news surrounding Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell.
Then there’s Penguins talk, too. Specifically, we analyze Patric Hornqvist’s injury.
Also, are we getting too comfortable talking about close losses? And when is Nick Bjugstad going to do anything worthwhile?
