{"id":432,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/432","headline":"Jaylen Warren dominates as Steelers beat Colts 34-22","dek":"The Pittsburgh running back racked up 188 yards from scrimmage with touchdowns on an 80-yard catch and a 50-yard run.","body":"Jaylen Warren had the kind of afternoon that usually gets a running back a highlight reel and a national conversation. Instead, he quietly dismantled the Indianapolis Colts, finishing with 101 rushing yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, adding six catches for 87 yards and another score, including an 80-yard touchdown reception and a 50-yard touchdown run. The Steelers used the outburst to beat the Colts 34-22 at home.\n\nIt is Warren's fifth season in Pittsburgh, but the first in which he has clearly been the team's every-down back, having spent previous years splitting time behind Najee Harris and then Kenneth Gainwell. With the Steelers' wide receiver room banged up and inconsistent, head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers leaned heavily on Warren against a Colts defense ranked 31st in the league.\n\nThe backfield picture is about to shift. Rico Dowdle, who has missed the last three weeks with a toe injury, appears close to returning, which could complicate how the Steelers divide carries going forward even as Warren's production makes a strong case for staying the featured option.","published_at":"2026-10-12T17:03:19.018988+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Aaron Rodgers says national media is overlooking Jaylen Warren","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/aaron-rodgers-national-media-overlooking-jaylen-warren.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Steelers’ Rico Dowdle gets injury update while Jaylen Warren dominates in his absence","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/steelers-rico-dowdle-gets-injury-143352847.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Jaylen Warren runs over Colts as Steelers win 34-22","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jaylen-warren-runs-over-colts-as-steelers-win-34-22"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Jaylen Warren erupts to lead Steelers to win that leaves Colts defense searching for answers","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7680988/2026/10/11/colts-steelers-nfl-week-5-result-takeaways/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Warren Makes Steelers History vs. Colts","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaylen-warren-makes-steelers-history-192321749.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Warren runs over Colts as Steelers win 34-22","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaylen-warren-runs-over-colts-202018129.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Warren's brilliance leads the Steelers past the Colts 34-22","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaylen-warrens-brilliance-leads-steelers-203432373.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Pittsburgh Steelers ride Jaylen Warren’s 188 yards to 34-22 win over Colts","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/pittsburgh-steelers-ride-jaylen-warren-202038368.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Biggest winners, losers from Steelers' Week 5 win over Colts","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/biggest-winners-losers-steelers-week-210104475.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Warren Continues to Dominate as Steelers’ Workhorse","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaylen-warren-continues-dominate-steelers-212955597.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Warren Proves His Worth in Steelers Offense in Week 5 Win Over Colts","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaylen-warren-proves-worth-steelers-211905251.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Pittsburgh Steelers stock report after Week 5 win over Colts","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/pittsburgh-steelers-stock-report-week-205829788.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Jaylen Warren Explodes as Steelers Take Down Colts 34-22","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/jaylen-warren-explodes-steelers-down-215122317.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Steelers’ Jaylen Warren is on fire, but sadly he’s not the media’s ‘favorite’ according to Aaron Rodgers","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/steelers-jaylen-warren-fire-sadly-224321385.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Howe It Happened: Steelers Finally Waking Up to Jaylen Warren’s Potential","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/howe-happened-steelers-finally-waking-235646593.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Three Rivers Report: Jaylen Warren has emerged as an elite running back back","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/three-rivers-report-jaylen-warren-132032780.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Aaron Rodgers says national media is overlooking Jaylen Warren","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/aaron-rodgers-says-national-media-164509553.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Aaron Rodgers sends message to national media","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/aaron-rodgers-sends-message-national-174553981.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/e45977fd843d763d882762d37320b4300dc817b651183152d855ddc39aced106/lightyear_networkapi/resizefill_w1200_h675%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fclutchpoints_articles_939%2Fabd25b9cf708cfd991110df5d55040aa.jpg","credit":"Yahoo Sports","width":1200},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
