Steelers vs. Colts: 'This Is Our House!' Indianapolis Linebacker Sends Message

No matter where the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing, their fans show up in droves to support the black and gold. This week, the Steelers head to Indianapolis, Indiana to take on the Colts on Sunday afternoon.

By car, it's 364 miles from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis. Steelers fans would have no problem driving six hours to see their undefeated team take on the Colts.

Indy linebacker Zaire Franklin, however, has a direct message to Steelers fans who believe they are going to take over Lucas Oil Stadium.

"I know the Pittsburgh fans, they are going to try and come in here," Franklin said. "They like to travel, so I’m looking forward to us fighting back. It is always a talented and tough team when we play Pittsburgh. We know the brand of football that they like to play, but it’s our house, and we make the rules."

His stance is understandable. There isn’t a single player in the league who wants to look up in their home stadium and see it full of the opposing team’s fans. However, when that team is the Steelers, and they’re undefeated, the black and gold brigade is going to show up in massive numbers.
