The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Indianapolis Colts 34-22 at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026, in Week 5, according to the Steelers’ official game recap. Running back Jaylen Warren finished with 188 yards from scrimmage, including 101 rushing yards, and scored two long touchdowns; Pat Freiermuth caught two TDs.

The recap names Warren’s scoring plays as a 50-yard touchdown rush and an 80-yard catch-and-run and quotes Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy saying, "He's the man." The article’s captions identify Aaron Rodgers as the Steelers’ quarterback and list the game date as Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026, in Pittsburgh.

WHY IT MATTERS

“Yards from scrimmage” is the sum of a player’s rushing and receiving yards. Using figures in the team’s recap, Warren’s 188 yards from scrimmage minus his 101 rushing yards yields 87 receiving yards (188 − 101 = 87). That derived receiving total is a transparent calculation based on the published game numbers.

Two long touchdowns — a 50-yard run and an 80-yard catch-and-run — are concrete examples of game-changing, explosive plays. A performance that combines long rushing and receiving scores shows versatility: defenders must account for the player both as a runner and as a pass-game threat. The recap also records coach Mike McCarthy’s quote, “He's the man,” which the team presented as an endorsement of Warren’s role in the offense.

What to watch next: this was Pittsburgh’s Week 5 game; a useful next milestone is the teams’ Week 6 outings. Track whether Warren’s rushing and receiving totals stay high and whether Pat Freiermuth continues to be a primary red-zone target, using each next official game recap to confirm any emerging patterns.
