Chargers narrowly escape Steelers, earn ‘B+’ on report card

The Chargers entered the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s game with a 17-point lead. However, the Steelers turned a blocked punt into 17-point barrage late in the final quarter to take a three-point leaf with 3:24 left on the clock. The Chargers responded with their own quick-strike magic as Justin Herbert hit Mike Williams streaking up the left sideline for a massive 53-yard touchdown.

On the ensuing defensive stand, Joey Bosa led a punishing attack that ended with him following a Kyler Fackrell sack with one of his own.

Overall, it was an extremely gutsy performance that may have been closer than the Chargers, but a win is a win, especially against a Steelers team that has long been the standard in the AFC.
