The Indianapolis Colts are a dominant team, but they'll need to go above and beyond to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers is currently in his 21st NFL season. His Steelers are 4-3 so far this year.

The news just keeps getting worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of this week's game against the Indianapolis Colts. First, the Steelers ruled out key backup safety Jabrill Peppers with a quad injury and now the team has downgraded linebacker Cole Holcomb and safety Chuck Clark to OUT with illness as well.

The Colts have the NFL's leading offense. The Steelers have struggled defensively in recent weeks. Here are Week 9 predictions, odds.

Pittsburgh placed starting safety DeShon Elliott on injured reserve on Friday with a knee injury. The team then ruled out backups Jabrill Peppers (quadriceps) and Chuck Clark (illness), leaving the NFL's worst pass defense in a tight spot as it prepares for the league's top-ranked offense.

The Steelers could be very thin at safety this week with Jabrill Peppers out and Chuck Clark questionable vs the Colts.
