KEY GAME INFORMATION

INDIANAPOLIS: After stubbornly sticking to it two seasons ago, the Colts eventually just abandoned the run last year as they clearly had no capable running back on the roster after Ahmad Bradshaw went down. Indy ended up the sixth-most pass-happy team in the league, and the five in front of them all had losing records, throwing a lot because they often trailed. Perhaps that changes with Frank Gore's arrival. Gore will run behind the same kind of ground-and-pound, power blocking scheme in which he spent the first part of his career with the 49ers. Last year the Colts used a lot more spread concepts and thrived when bunching receivers, creating clean releases for top receiver T.Y. Hilton. Hilton will again be used primarily to press downfield, with Andre Johnson playing more of a possession role on the other side of the field. Either could slide inside when Donte Moncrief is on the field, with Phillip Dorsett seemingly pegged for a situational deep threat role similar to Moncrief's last season. Despite needing upgrades at safety and defensive tackle, the Colts used their first two picks of the '14 draft on a backup receiver (Phillip Dorsett) and a backup corner (D'Joun Smith). They'd be ranked much lower here if they didn't get to face so many bad offenses (including three such offenses twice each).

PITTSBURGH: Offensive line coach Mike Munchak, formerly the Titans' head man, seemed to make an enormous difference with the Steelers' relatively new zone blocking scheme last season'though having a relatively healthy offensive line certainly helped. Le'Veon Bell is the workhorse, as his unique, patient running style has meshed perfectly with the big boys up front. He's facing a two-game suspension to start the season, during which the Steelers are likely looking at a committee approach led by DeAngelo Williams. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley emphasizes quicker timing routes in order to keep quarterback Ben Roethlisberger from absorbing too many hits. Antonio Brown is obviously the No. 1, showing excellent chemistry with Roethlisberger on option routes and moving all over the field to find mismatches. Martavis Bryant is in for a bigger role after breaking out in the second half of 2014. With Dick LeBeau having departed for Tennessee, the Steelers have a new defensive coordinator for the first time since 2004. The retirements of SS Troy Polamalu and CB Ike Taylor leave an inexperienced secondary for new coordinator Keith Butler, who had been Pittsburgh's linebackers coach since 2003.

PREVIEW

Colts-Steelers Preview
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer

Andrew Luck may be drawing closer to a return, though the Indianapolis Colts certainly haven't needed him to lead their remarkable turnaround.

After there had been some confusion about Ben Roethlisberger's condition, the Pittsburgh Steelers are happy to learn that he's been cleared to play.

As Matt Hasselbeck looks to guide the AFC South co-leaders to a fourth straight win, Pittsburgh will try to avoid losing ground in the playoff picture Sunday night at Heinz Field.

Luck has been bruised and battered while guiding Indianapolis (6-5) - a preseason Super Bowl contender by some - to two wins in seven starts. He missed two games with a shoulder injury earlier in the season and has been dealing with multiple rib fractures since Week 3.

The star quarterback is expected to miss his third straight game due to a lacerated kidney and partially torn abdominal muscle, leaving Hasselbeck to take over again this weekend.

The 40-year-old signal-caller will try to improve to 5-0 as a starter after completing 26 of 41 passes for 315 yards with two touchdowns in last Sunday's 25-12 home win over Tampa Bay.

"Obviously, at his age, being 4-0 as a backup quarterback it's great for us," coach Chuck Pagano said. "We're very, very fortunate and I just hope he keeps it going.''

The three-time Pro Bowler has joined Brett Favre and Warren Moon as the only Super Bowl era starters to win four straight starts in their 40s. The run has led some to suggest there might be a quarterback controversy brewing, though Pagano insists that's not the case.

''Andrew is our starting quarterback,'' he said. "When he is healthy and he is 100 percent healthy and the doctors and our trainers say he is ready to roll then he is going to be under center.''

Donte Moncrief and T.Y. Hilton had a combined 14 catches for 209 yards and two touchdowns last week as the Colts remained in a first-place tie with Houston. They teamed for 13 receptions, 286 yards and two scores in a 51-34 loss at Pittsburgh on Oct. 26, 2014, in the most recent meeting.

Indianapolis could continue that success through the air against a Pittsburgh team that ranks 30th against the pass, allowing 283.6 yards per game.

The Steelers have been solid against the run, ranking seventh at 93.6 yards allowed per game. Colts running back Frank Gore has totaled 58 yards on 1.8 per carry over his last two games and Ahmad Bradshaw suffered a season-ending wrist injury last weekend.

Pittsburgh (6-5) had been 4-2 when Roethlisberger played before he left last weekend's 39-30 loss at Seattle in the final two minutes after getting struck in the head. Roethlisberger said on his radio show that he didn't have a concussion, but coach Mike Tomlin said during his news conference that his quarterback had indeed been diagnosed with one.

"I said I didn't know the results then, but I felt good because when I left the training room the trainers told me this looks good,'' Roethlisberger said. ''Don't see why this would be an issue. That's why I said I didn't have a concussion and would be ready to go.''

Regardless, the three-time Pro Bowler has been removed from the concussion protocol after completing 36 of 55 attempts for 456 yards - the most ever against Seattle. He's thrown for an average of 389.7 yards with six scores and four picks over his last three games.

Roethlisberger threw for a franchise-record 522 yards and tied his own team mark with six touchdowns against the Colts last season. However, he had two of the team's four turnovers last weekend as it fell into a tie with Kansas City, Houston, Indianapolis and New York.

''It's one of those things where we have a lot of games left that we have to win,'' guard David DeCastro said. ''We've got to make it happen.''

Markus Wheaton hopes to build on the best game of his three-year career after finishing with nine receptions for 201 yards and a touchdown. Antonio Brown was limited to six catches for 51 yards after totaling 27 and 432 with two scores over his previous two contests.

The Steelers, 4-2 at home, could have a big passing day against an Indianapolis team that ranks 27th, allowing 272.8 yards per game. The Colts also rank 24th against the run (115.1), though Pittsburgh has rushed for a total of 118 yards in its past two games.

Pro Bowl safety Mike Adams is day to day with an ankle injury for Indianapolis, which has dropped 13 of 15 all-time meetings in Pittsburgh - including the playoffs.
