Episode Synopsis


The Chargers defense was the story of the game holding the Steelers to 221 yards of total offense and 10 points. Pittsburgh only had 3 points until late in the 4th quarter when the game was well out of hand.Justin Herbert outplayed Aaron Rodgers in a game where both defensive lines were routinely getting to the quarterback and causing havoc. Ladd McConkey had 107 receiving yards and a TD while Kimani Vidal had 108 total yards from scrimmage adding another TD. The Chargers defense held the Steelers to just 73 yards on the ground, and added a safety when Khalil Mack sacked Rodgers in the end zone. Rodgers uncharacteristically missed a few wide open receivers and had two interceptions, one of which was on him and the other we can to lay at the feet of Calvin Austin. The Steelers lack of a true #2 receiver was apparent.The Chargers have won three in a row and are looking strong despite a litany of injuries to key positions including both starting offensive tackles and the #1 and #2 running backs.The Steelers on the other hand have dropped 3 of their last four games as injuries are starting to affect their depth specifically in the defensive secondary.
