Chargers rally, but lose to lowly Steelers in national spotlight

It’s hard to say whether the Steelers were that good, or the Chargers were that bad. For most of this game, the Chargers were being embarrassed on national television in more ways than one.

For starters, the stands were filled with Steelers fans swinging around their “terrible towels”. Al Michaels mentioned during the broadcast that he felt that about 80 percent of the fans in the stands were cheering for Pittsburgh.

In addition to that, the Steelers, who have won just one game this season and were starting an undrafted rookie at quarterback making his first career start, were ahead 24-0 at one point in this game.
