Season 17, Episode 34 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers' 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday to move to 3-2 on the season.

Alex and I discuss the team's perceived health coming out of its fifth regular-season game and that includes the team losing two wide receivers, Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) during their Sunday contest. We discuss what the loss of two more wide receivers might mean for the offense.

The Steelers Sunday inactive list included seven players, so we go over those that were listed in addition to discussing the transactions that the team made on Saturday.

Sunday was a very productive and historic day for Steelers RB Jaylen Warren, so Alex and I make sure he gets plenty of praise for his play on Sunday against the Colts.

The Steelers’ offense really looked good overall against the Colts, so we start on that side of the football as part of our game recap. We discuss the play of the offensive line, the blocking from the wide receivers, key throws made by QB Aaron Rodgers, and the play of TE Pat Freiermuth. The Steelers posted a lot of YAC on offense against the Colts so we discuss how that played a huge part in Sunday's win.

While the Steelers certainly played well enough defensively on Sunday to win, they still allowed the Colts offense to register a fair share of explosive plays. The unit did, however, accomplish the main goal of limiting Colts RB Jonathan Taylor on Sunday and that played a huge part in the win. We make sure to go over the great play of several players on defense against the Colts and make sure to go over the decision to have DC Patrick Graham on the sideline for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers' special teams play against the Colts wasn’t particularly good overall. Alex and I discuss the good, bad and ugly from Sunday’s game when it comes to that phase of the team.

The Steelers are reportedly bringing ILB Elandon Roberts to Pittsburgh this week with the possibility that he might be signed back to the roster. We go over that exciting Monday morning news during this show.

This 72-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners.
