Happy Thanksgiving Day, and Night Colts fans! A battle of 5-5 teams Our Indianapolis Colts continue to stay in the hunt as a wild card for the NFL playoffs as they host the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both the Colts and Steelers adjusted and prepared from their short practice week, to accomodate NBC Sports coverage of Thursday's Thanksgiving Night Football. Both teams are coming from wins this past Sunday, the Colts winning 26-19 at home over the Tennessee Titans, while the Steelers kept the Cleveland winless at 0-11 by defeating Browns 24-9.Whoever wins (hopefully the Colts) positions into earning a wild card spot in the upcoming NFL Playoffs. Colts will also try to defeat the Steelers since their last game Pittsburgh in 8 years, and at Indianapolis in 11 years, in tonight's 29th all-time regular and postseason meeting. Colts backup QB Scott Tolzien will start in place of Andrew Luck at quarterback as Luck is still inactive on concussion protocol. Colts will try to end a three game regular season losing streak over the Steelers, being outscored 119-64 in those games.
