Hasselbeck not sure on status vs. Jaguars

They now lie 7-5 for the season.

Offensive Line- Williams averaged 5.2 yards per carry and Roethlisberger was only sacked once, but it was wiped out by a penalty. Roethlisberger did what he does best tonight, and that was to stand or move around in the pocket and use his rocket arm to pick apart defenses. The Colts have always had issues, and against a team like the Steelers they were put on full display.

AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE: DeAngelo Williams is one of the lucky running backs in the National Football League who’s getting better with age. This game gave him his third 100 yard game of the 2015 season, and now he has 697 yards rushing on the season. Frank Gore is Indy’s top rusher with 702 yards and four touchdowns and T.Y. Hilton has 54 receptions and five touchdowns and Donte Moncrief has 53 catches and five touchdowns. We tried to get there with a four-man rush and play some coverage, some two deeps and some quarters. Last year, the division was locked up after a Week 15 win over the Texans (coming into that game, the Colts were 9-4 and Houston was 7-6).

As for the Colts (6-6), they had to do the best they could with what they had.

Matt Hasselbeck threw for 169 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions before leaving in the fourth quarter because of neck and shoulder pain. It was that kind of night for him.

If the Steelers clinch the final spot in the 2015 postseason they may very well as Chris Berman might exclaim; “go all the way”.

Indy has only three quarterbacks on its active roster – Luck, Hasselbeck and Whitehurst – with another, Alex Tanney, on the practice squad. He lobbed a pass at the goal line that linebacker Jarvis Jones snatched out of the air for his first career interception.

-SPECIAL TEAMS: C. Kicker Adam Vinatieri made his only field goal attempt, hitting from 35 yards.

Hasselbeck was intercepted again at the Colts 37, and Boswell later connected on another field goal, this one from 51 yards, for a 6-3 Pittsburgh lead. The Colts recovered his fumble on the opening kickoff and nearly got another turnover courtesy of Jones when he fumbled a punt in the second quarter. “I wish I could get some plays back”.

Pagano said he’s “fairly confident” Hasselbeck will play Sunday against Jacksonville despite suffering a mild rib separation and sore/stiff back in the 45-10 loss to the Steelers.

The Colts went three-and-out to start the second half and Roethlisberger picked up where he left off when he found Bryant with a rainbow down the right sideline. Bryant then proceeded to sprint the remaining yards untouched into the end zone for a 68 yard score. Markus Wheaton added a touchdown and tight end Jesse James added three early catches subbing for the injured Heath Miller. The Jaguars defense is allowing 28.4 points and 367.6 yards per game with six interceptions, 29 sacks, and 12 fumble recoveries. But on this night, even that turned into something bad.

With four minutes remaining in the game, Brown returned a punt for a 71-yard touchdown and celebrated by launching himself onto the goalpost and hugging it with both his arms and legs before falling off.
