The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to get their second win of the season on Sunday, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers by a touchdown. But the team knows, and especially the defense, that it should have been more.
Pittsburgh held a 24-0 lead before the Chargers scored 17 unanswered points in the second half. Then they were able to get the ball back with 89 seconds to go in a one-possession game. What had the makings of a blowout from the early goings was suddenly a threat. And while they were able to extinguish that threat rather easily, the defense doesn’t want to put themselves in those positions anymore.
