The Indianapolis Colts lost 34-22 to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Week 5, and the team publicly attributed the defeat to red-zone execution and missed tackles, according to a Colts.com report.
The Colts dropped a 34-22 decision to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Week 5. Indianapolis converted only one touchdown on three trips inside the Steelers' 20-yard line and another drive stalled at the Pittsburgh 22; Pro Football Focus credited the Colts with eight missed tackles, per Colts.com.
Head coach Shane Steichen said, "We got to do a better job" on red-zone play-calling and execution, and defensive end Laiatu Latu added, "We definitely shouldn't let that happen" about the tackling, according to the team report.
