The Steelers came back from a 21-7 halftime deficit to defeat the visiting Indianapolis Colts, 28-24, Sunday at Heinz Field.
Pittsburgh scored 21 unanswered points in the second half and clinched the AFC North championship.
Ben Roethlisberger threw touchdown passes to Diontae Johnson, Eric Ebron and JuJu Smith-Schuster to create the three-score run. He completed 34 of 49 passes for 342 yards overall.
Smith-Schuster led the Steelers with nine catches for 96 yards.
The Steelers ended a three-game losing streak while clinching their first division title since 2017 and at least the No. 3 seed in the conference as they head into the season finale next weekend at Cleveland.
For the third time in franchise history, the Steelers overcame a 21-point deficit.
The Colts, who came to Pittsburgh with a three-game winning streak, fell to 10-5 entering the final week of the regular season.
Two Jonathan Taylor touchdown runs, along with Phillip Rivers’ 42-yard touchdown pass to Zach Pascal, gave the Colts the 21-7 halftime lead.
