Happy Friday and I hope yinz are doing well.
Welcome to the final month of 2022. A year that’s flown on by. The Pittsburgh Steelers rewarded those who stayed up late Monday night with a 24-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts, pushing their record to 4-7 on the season and keeping very faint playoff hopes still alive. Maybe they’ll be in the “In The Hunt” graphic this weekend. Neat! They’ll look for their first winning streak of the season when they travel to Atlanta to play the Falcons this weekend. We’ll have it covered for you, win, lose, or draw.
Hope you all have a great weekend and that you enjoyed following our continued coverage. I thank you for visiting the site and we appreciate all of your great feedback. As always, we have five Friday night questions for you to answer.
Peace and love, peace and love!
1 – Will the Steelers beat the Falcons?
2 – Over/under 125 yards rushing for Atlanta?
3 – Will WR Diontae Johnson catch a TD pass in this game?
4 – The Steelers have gone three straight games without a turnover. Will they turn the ball over at all in this game?
5 – How many times will the Steelers sack QB Marcus Mariota?
Tiebreaker: How many yards will TE Pat Freiermuth have (closest answer wins)?
Recap of 2022 Thanksgiving Weekend Friday Night 5 Questions
Question 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers started strong, ebbed in the third quarter, but came back to win it in the fourth quarter. Steelers over Colts 24-17. Steelers Depot respondents optimistic going into this game with 80.9% rewarded with a point for their confidence in Pittsburgh winning Monday night.
Question 2: It seemed like Jonathan Taylor was running at will. But the Steelers defense held Taylor to 86 rushing yards on 20 carries. 76.6% of respondents predicted the Steelers defense holding Taylor under 100 rushing yards.
Question 3: The Steelers scored two touchdowns. Najee Harris ran one in from six yards out. Benny Snell ran the other from the two-yard line. Just 14.9% predicted the Steelers not scoring a touchdown from beyond the ten-yard line.
Question 4: Pressley Harvin punted four times. One from deep in Pittsburgh territory. His first almost tipped back on the field but ultimately resulted in a touchback. He hit a 54-yard punt that went out of bounds at the Colts 12. His last punt went 50 yards and Christian Kuntz downed it at the Colts seven-yard line. The median response of Steelers Depot respondents was two punts inside the 20. Nice job!
Question 5: If the Colts converted the last fourth down but failed to score afterwards. The Steelers likely final offensive play would be Pressley Harvin’s 50-yard punt. But they did not convert, and the Steelers ended with the ball and kneeling in the victory formation for the last 24 seconds. 61.7% of respondents got the point for this question.
Here are the consensus responses of Steelers Depot respondents compared to the correct answers:
| Questions | Steelers Win? | Jon Taylor Under 100 Rush Yards? | Steelers TD Longer 10 Yards? | Harvin Punts Inside 20? | Steelers Last Possession? |
| SD Consensus | YES | YES | YES | 2 | END OF GAME |
| Correct Answers | YES | YES | NO | 2 | END OF GAME |
