Watch: Fields scores 2 rushing TDs vs Colts
The Pittsburgh Steelers were on the road for their Week 4 game of the 2024 NFL regular season to face the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Through much of the first two quarters of the game, Pittsburgh struggled on both sides of the ball. The result was an end of September football with a record of 3-1.
Offensively, the Steelers did not get off to the fast start they’d planned on. Two critical fumbles – one by receiver George Pickens and another by Justin Fields as he was being sacked – both ended up in the Colts’ possession. Down 17-3, the Steelers picked themselves up in the third quarter to get back into contention thanks to two rushing touchdowns by Fields.
Pittsburgh needed Fields to shake off the big sack fumble, and he did when he scrambled on 1st down for a six-yard gain. On 2nd & 5 at the Colts 5, Fields tried to hit Pickens, but it was broken up. On 3rd down, Fields was able to navigate a scramble to the right for the Steelers’ first touchdown of the game.

Back in the mix, Fields would score another rushing touchdown on the Steelers’ next offensive series after the Colts went up 24-10. On a drive that went 70 yards on 8 plays, Fields was able to take a hard hit but find the end zone again to make the score 24-17.

The Steelers got within 3 points of the Colts thanks to a 70 yard drive (7 plays) that resulted in a passing touchdown, but tragedy struck when center Zach Frazier snapped the ball before Fields was ready, resulting in a recovery of the ball but little time to execute after a Najee Harris run remained in-bounds. With just 37 seconds left, the 4th & 11 play from the Pittsburgh 41 – a deep pass to Van Jefferson – was incomplete.
