Sunday Flashback: Steelers Run Roughshod On Chargers In AFC Divisional Round

Two years into the Mike Tomlin era in Pittsburgh, the Steelers looked like one of the best teams in the NFL once again, shaking off some post-Super Bowl XL struggles to again try and climb the mountain in the NFL.

Following a disappointing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2007 Wild Card round at home, the Steelers under Tomlin looked to rebound in a big way in 2008, this time opening up against the then-San Diego Chargers at Heinz Field in the snow.

Just a few short weeks after beating the Chargers at Heinz Field 11-10 (yes, you read that right), the Steelers welcomed Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates and the Chargers into Heinz Field for the AFC Divisional Round matchup on January 11, 2009.
