It was a playoff atmosphere inside of Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The winner between the 7-6 Indianapolis Colts and 7-6 Pittsburgh Steelers would see their playoff chances greatly increase. The loser would be behind the 8-ball in a tight AFC race.
Both teams were starting backup quarterbacks on Saturday. The Colts would follow the lead of Gardner Minshew, their starting quarterback since Anthony Richardson was lost for the season in Week 5. For the Steelers, it would be Mitch Trubisky leading the offense as starter Kenny Pickett recovers from an ankle injury.
When the game was over, only one backup quarterback proved he could lead his team to a playoff berth. Minshew Mania struck again, as the Colts quarterback had one of his most impressive games of the season. The Colts won in dominant fashion over the Steelers, scoring 30 unanswered points in a 30-13 victory.
“He played really good,” head coach Shane Steichen said about Minshew. “I mean, he was concise with his reads, his decisions, getting the ball out of his hands quick, and making plays. He just operates at a high level. It was awesome to see.”
