Steelers report card: Jaylen Warren hot streak continues; Aaron Rodgers shines

The Pittsburgh Steelers extended their home winning streak to three games with a 34-22 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, maintaining their push for AFC North dominance. Aaron Rodgers delivered a polished performance, completing 22 of 31 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns while showcasing the quick, high-volume passing that defined his success under former coordinator Arthur Smith.

His chemistry with the offense appears to be strengthening as he reunites with head coach Mike McCarthy, with three Steelers receivers each logging at least five catches and four others clearing three receptions apiece. Jaylen Warren stood out as the offensive sparkplug, opening the scoring with an 80-yard touchdown catch and later adding a 50-yard rushing score, proving his explosive potential even as the Steelers leaned heavily on the pass game.

The defense, meanwhile, stifled Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, holding him to just 45 yards on 15 carries while filling the rushing lanes effectively, though the pass rush struggled to generate consistent pressure on quarterback Daniel Jones. Injuries continued to bite, with receivers Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek sidelined and tight end Pat Freiermuth drawing a holding penalty despite contributing two touchdowns and five catches.

The Steelers now turn their focus to a Week 6 road test against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where they’ll need to address defensive line pressure and offensive line miscues—including holding calls on center Zach Frazier and guard Brock Hoffman—to sustain their momentum.
