Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen caught a 21-yard touchdown pass to pull back to within 21-10 of the Pittsburgh Steelers that could have NFL playoff implications later in the season.

The Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers are locked into a tough game that could have playoff implications down the road, and the Colts have gotten off to a slow start. Ben Roethlisberger led the Steelers to two touchdowns, and Colts’ quarterback Andrew Luck threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown by William Gay. Luck finally responded with a touchdown pass of his own.

Dwayne Allen made a beautiful catch in the end zone to finish off a 21-yard touchdown catch. Indianapolis was able to pull back within 21-10 with the play, and their offense finally got back to being productive. Defensively, the Colts will need to step up in order to come back and defeat the Steelers this afternoon.

Allen has been one of the most consistent tight ends in the league, and now has six touchdown catches on the year. He is a huge target for Luck, and is a match-up nightmare for most opposing defenders. All of that being said, tune into the game if you get the chance.
