Now, the Colts have to win this game without one of their best wide receivers. This is a crucial game for both teams considering that each team has a 7-6 record. Just how good has Pittman been this season?
Pittman has 984 receiving yards and four touchdown receptions this season. He has 3,494 receiving yards and 15 touchdown receptions in 59 career games. That includes four catches for 78 receiving yards in today’s game against the Steelers.
When Pittman left the game, he was the leading receiver in the game. The Colts were also trailing in the game when Pittman suffered the concussion. Now, they will have to overcome this to try and secure a critical win.
