Tragic Loss: Pittsburgh Steelers Key Player involved in car crash that Leads to…..
The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 20-10 in week three of the NFL season moving the black and gold to 3-0.
Justin Fields finished with 245 passing yards on 78.13% passing while passing for one touchdown, rushing for one touchdown and tossing an interception.
The Chargers behind running back J.K. Dobbins and new head coach Jim Harbaugh have dominated this season with a ground-and-pound offense.
With a 1:00 p.m. start, the west-coast Chargers might have needed a wake-up call. Steelers’ linebacker Patrick Queen delivered early with a strong tackle onto Dobbins for little gain.
In front of the home crowd for the first time, the Steelers’ offense answered the Chargers three-and-out with one of their own.
The Chargers’ front seven stuffed two rushing attempts by Fields and one by running back Najee Harris.
Chargers’ left tackle Joe Alt, the fifth overall pick in the NFL draft, has quickly gained respect as one-half of an elite tackle-duo opposite Rashawn Slater.
But Alt hasn’t seen anyone like Steelers’ edge rusher T.J. Watt.
On third down, Watt had a clear path to Chargers’ quarterback Justin Herbert forcing Alt to draw a holding penalty.
Another forced three-and-out was to no benefit to the Steelers’ offense. After two drives, half of the Steelers’ six offensive snaps resulted in negative yards. Four drives and four three-and-outs.
The dam was bound to break. Dobbins kept the Steelers honest with three ineffective rushes up the middle.
Then Herbert used his eyes to trick Steelers’ sophomore cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to run to the flat leaving Chargers’ sophomore receiver Quentin Johnston wide-open down the sideline to start the scoring.
