Colts vs. Steelers: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Radio, Game Time and More

The Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers will meet during primetime this weekend in a preseason showdown that will showcase the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

Andrew Luck threw for over 180 yards and two touchdowns in his first career NFL preseason game against the St. Louis Rams last weekend, so expect Luck and the Colt to come out firing against the Steelers.

Pittsburgh on the other hand, is coming off a defeat to the in-state rival Philadelphia Eagles in their preseason opener. The one-point loss in eastern Pennsylvania surely has the Steelers geared up to win in front of their home crowd this Sunday.

With that said, here is everything you need to know for the preseason clash between the Colts and Steelers on Sunday night. 

When: Sunday, August 19 at 8 p.m. ET

Where: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA

Watch: NBC

Listen: ESPN 1070 The Fan (Indianapolis), WBGG 970 AM (Pittsburgh)

Live Streaming: NFL Audio Pass

Betting Line: Steelers (-3.5), according to Covers.com.

What's At Stake?

Revenge is at stake for the Colts in Sunday's Week 2 preseason matchup. With a win, Indianapolis can feel a little better about themselves about last season's Week 3's heartbreaking loss at the hands of Pittsburgh.

The Peyton Manning-less Colts played the Steelers tough at Lucas Oil Stadium, losing on a 38-yard field goal with just seconds left to fall to 0-3 on the season. Outside of avenging a 2011 defeat, there is little at stake in terms of wins and losses. 

In preseason scenarios as this one, only the NFL futures of unproven players and undrafted free agents are at stake. These fringe players can go from special teamers to out of a job with one good or bad play on Sunday night in Pittsburgh.

Fantasy Prospect to Watch

Pittsburgh's rookie running back Chris Rainey is way, way under the radar coming into this season, but that doesn't mean he isn't worthy of becoming a late-round fantasy pick this summer. His ridiculous speed and playmaking ability will finds its way onto the field for the Steelers in 2012.

Pittsburgh drafted Rainey in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL draft, and the running back has already made his presence felt in the NFL. Rainey scored a 57-yard touchdown after catching a screen pass in the Steelers' preseason opener against the Eagles last week.

Fantasy owners should certainly keep an eye out for this guy as the preseason wears on, as he could turn out to be one of the better late-round steals for their team considering all of the injuries that have begun piling up in Pittsburgh's backfield.

What They're Saying

The Indianapolis Colts will be using veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne in a variety of ways this coming season. Wayne will have a chance to add to his 11,708 career receiving yards from all over the field, according to Indy offensive coordinator Bruce Arians via IndyStar.com's Mike Chappel:

"

"Why leave him in one spot?'' asked offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. "We're not a right and left wide receiver offense. He's going to be our flanker and our slot. "He's got great decision making and he's really strong in the slot. It's a waste of talent to just have him out (left) all the time and let him be double covered."

"

Steelers coaches certainly like what they see from Rainey this summer. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley had only good things to say about Rainey via The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ray Fittipaldo:

"

"We're not going to start carving the [Hall-of-Fame] bust yet for Chris Rainey, but he has done some things that get you excited as an offensive staff," offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. "We're all kind of encouraged to see a young guy not be afraid to step up and make plays."

Colts Player to Watch

Without question, the player to watch for the Colts on Sunday night will be rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. Luck was brought in to replace the legend of Peyton Manning, and he certainly looks poised to do just that after throwing not one, but two touchdowns in his first career NFL game last week.

Luck will face off against a much better defense on Sunday night in Pittsburgh though. The Steelers boasted the NFL's top passing defense in 2011, allowing less than 172 yards through the air on average last season. Luck will either continue his ascent to greatness or be brought back down to earth this weekend.

Steelers Player to Watch

Baron Batch will likely carry the load for the Steelers in the backfield on Sunday night. Batch had 19 carries against the Eagles last week, rushing for 41 yards. With running backs Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer dealing with injuries, Batch looks to be the No. 1 option at running back this preseason.

A seventh round pick in 2011, Batch was injured last season as a rookie and will run with plenty of determination this season when given the opportunity. Batch rushed for 14 touchdowns in 2009 with Texas Tech as a junior.

Key Matchup

The top matchup in Sunday's matchup will be the Colts' passing attack vs. the Steelers' pass defense. As mentioned before, Pittsburgh ranked first in the league last season defending the pass, and should have the advantage in the early stages of this weekend's game.

Pittsburgh gave up 280 passing yards to the Eagles last week, though, so perhaps Luck can find some success during his first few drives. He will have to match a 10-for-16 effort against the Steelers in order to keep the pace he started against the Rams at home last weekend. 

Prediction

The Steelers are banged up this preseason, and are looking to get healthy above all else. Meanwhile the Colts are trying to establish some confidence in their young players after a two-win season in 2011. Luck will have some shining moments in this matchup, and Indy pulls it out in the end in a close one.
