Before word of that trade broke, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the challenges his defense will face when running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Daniel Jones lead the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts into Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium Sunday afternoon.

Week 8 in the NFL has been one of the most lopsided since the merger with the AFL in 1970. Only one game, the New York Jets' 39-38 win over Cincinnati, was decided by single digits.

The Cincinnati Bengals, who upset the Pittsburgh Steelers with a prime-time shootout back in Week 7, found themselves on the wrong end of a similarly high-scoring affair. The Drake Maye-led New England Patriots stayed hot to win their sixth game in eight weeks.

The Texans played without veterans Niko Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring). The outing was similar to a Week 6 loss in Tampa in which little-known Buccaneers receivers Tez Johnson and Kam Johnson had big games. The 49ers only sacked Baker Mayfield once in that game. They had no sacks on Sunday.
