Finally, the Chargers get to face a good team this week when they go to Pittsburgh.
”Impressive team,” Antonio Gates said a few weeks ago when asked if he’d seen the Steelers.
Gates, availing himself of a Thursday telecast that week, was able to watch the Steelers against the Panthers.
Final score: Steelers 52, Panthers 21.
“I was impressed,” Gates added.
He made a second point: “And,” he said, “I was impressed that they did that without their best player.”
Gates was talking about Le’Veon Bell, the running back who is not playing this season due to a contractual stalemate.
