With all the buildup surrounding Andrew Luck and the 5-2 Indianapolis Colts, who would have thought it would be the Pittsburgh Steelers putting up 51 points, largely on the arm of Ben Roethlisberger?

For about five glorious minutes out of the sixty played last Monday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) looked unstoppable. Every play, every bounce went the way of the home team as luck was on their side, while the Houston Texans floundered and blew an early lead. On Sunday afternoon, Luck will be on the side of the visiting Indianapolis Colts (5-2), and that is bad news for a Steelers team trying to win two in a row for the first time this season.
