Another week, another team that looks like it has a better chance than the Steelers to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

Now the Chargers have stamped themselves as legitimate contenders after beating the Steelers 33-30 Sunday night at Heinz Field.
This comes a week after the Steelers (7-4-1) lost to the Broncos, another rising power in the conference.
And let’s not forget about the Texans (9-3), who have won nine straight.
