Steelers vs. Chargers: Did the Steelers save their season?

What a dominant performance by the defense on Sunday night. The Steelers traditionally play well in prime time games and this contest was no exception, beating the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 24-17.

Did their victory over the Chargers save the season? Let’s explore that question in more detail as we work our way through this discussion.

With the season essentially on the line, the Steelers knew they had to find a way to beat the Chargers on the road.
