Second straight slow start dooms Chargers in loss to Steelers

CARSON, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Chargers laid an egg against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a nationally televised game, falling 24-17 Sunday at Dignity Health Sports Complex in a loss that wasn't as close as the score indicated.

Amidst a sea of black-and-gold clad Steelers fans and with a full moon hovering over the stadium, Philip Rivers and the Chargers' offense struggled once again in the opening half, failing to score points for a second straight game.

It's the first time since 1975 the Chargers have been held scoreless in the first half in back-to-back home games.
