PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers special teams unit continues to shine, with a blocked punt in back-to-back games, this time coming in the second quarter against the Indianapolis Colts.

Up 6-0 against the Colts, the Steelers defense forced a punt on the 25-yard line. Rushing up the middle, tight end Connor Heyward worked his way to the punter, blocking the kick and sending it soaring back toward the endzone.

Diving on the ball at the half-yard line, rookie Nick Herbig secured the ball, setting up a two-play touchdown series by the offense, taking a 13-0 lead. 

Last week against the New England Patriots, safety Miles Killebrew blocked a punt. 

The Steelers currently hold the 6th seed in the AFC playoff standings, and will hold onto the spot if they win. They'll travel back home in Week 16 to host the Cincinnati Bengals, who are 8-6 after a win over the Minnesota Vikings.
