The Steelers vsSteelers vs. Chargers Score Puts Steelers Back on Track Chargers score was decided pretty quickly, as the Steelers jumped out to a 28-0 lead and held on for a 38-28 win. With the Steelers vs Chargers score decisively in favor of Pittsburgh, the defending Super Bowl champions can stop worrying for a little while. Two straight last-second losses without Troy Polamalu had the Steelers wondering if they had slipped down a little, and gave the Chargers hope that they could break through against them.

Instead, the Steelers vs Chargers score became lopsided early on, thanks to Ben Roethlisberger's hot start.

Three Chargers' fourth-quarter touchdowns were too little, too late. The Steelers vs Chargers game evened both teams' record up at 2-2, though the Steelers are more relieved to be at .500. The late struggles of the defense signal that they still miss Polamalu, however, and are still trying to sneak by until he comes back.

For the Chargers, they failed to win their first game at Pittsburgh in the regular season - despite a win there in the 1995 AFC Title Game. They are now 2-2, and already two games back of Denver in the AFC West.

If the Chargers want to finally break through to the Super Bowl, that approach won't work. Having lost to AFC Central powers Baltimore and Pittsburgh, the Chargers aren't inspiring confidence against the elite.
