Different Manning, similar result. If you're looking to place the blame on someone for this game, look no further than this douchebag:
Pregame
Run the Ball showed up for this game, so it was a good time for all of us in section 107.
Country "Superstar" Keith Anderson (who?) sang the national anthem. It was okay.
He's no Scott Blasey.

The Defense gets the honors of the introductions. Solid picture of Potsie here.
The Steelers won the toss and elected to receive. I thought they should have deferred, but I guess the thought was that they didn't want to fall behind early.
First Quarter
With Moore in the starting lineup, Gary Russell drew the straw with "Kick returner" written on it. He picks up a facemask penalty on his first return to set the Steelers up in good position. Just like the Divisional game in 2005, the Steelers come out throwing. And what do you know, they have success. Ward and Holmes get quick grabs, setting up a 3rd-and-1 that Mewelde converts to get the ball across the 50.
The Steelers take the opportunity to attack the worst run defense in the league and pound Moore at them for two four-yard carries. On 3rd-and-2, Arians goes to the air and Ben hits Holmes on a skinny post for 19 yards to get inside the red zone.
The Steelers seem intent on getting the ball in Santonio's hands as they try an end around that goes nowhere. Ben hits Nasty Nate on The Crabtree Play to get the ball down to the four, and it only takes Moore two tries to get it into the end zone. Huge opening drive.
7-0
"Face Me Ike" comes out with some solid defense against Reggie Wayne as Peyton takes a shot deep right off the bat. Addai gets nine and three to pick up a first down and give the Colts some breathing room.
Peyton goes deep again and Ike and Wayne execute the best tip-drill since Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor. Wayne is able to waltz into the end zone to tie the game. Where was Ryan Clark on that play?
7-7
With the game tied, the offense needed to respond. The Steelers responded by going three-and-out, adding the exclamation point of Freeney sacking Ben and forcing a fumble that we were lucky enough to recover.
