PITTSBURGH —The Indianapolis Colts moved one step closer to the 2017 regular season on Saturday, as they traveled to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in their third preseason game of the year.
The final result was a 19-15 Colts victory, Indy's first win of the preseason. And, participation-wise, the team took a noticeable shift in playing time across the board for its third preseason game, which is typically known as an NFL team's "dress rehearsal" for the regular season.
