Chargers upset that Steelers' anthem 'Renegade' played at team's temporary home

An attempt to "Rick Roll" fans of the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers at the beginning of the fourth quarter Sunday instead wound up angering some Los Angeles Chargers players.

The opening of "Renegade" by Styx -- the Steelers' adopted anthem -- blared over loudspeakers at Dignity Health Sports Park, with the full intention of morphing it into the much-lampooned 1980s song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

However, upon hearing the opening of "Renegade," fans of the visiting Steelers, who were quite numerous, very loud and thrilled with a 24-0 lead at the time, took it up a notch.
