This time, he took the Chargers’ offense 98-yards down the field and capped off the impressive drive with a pass to Austin Ekeler for what was a way-too-easy drive for the second year quarterback. Herbert’s second drive of the game looked a lot like his first. They ran four plays, and failed to score, keeping the score 7-3 after the turnover on downs. An underthrown pass to a wide open Chase Claypool resulted in the Steelers offense looking at first and goal from the six-yard line. The Steelers’ second drive continued through the change of the quarters, and it looked as if Pittsburgh was ready to match the Chargers’ first quarter touchdown. The extra point was good, making the score 7-3 with 2:09 remaining in the first quarter. Austin Ekeler scored a 6-yard touchdown for the first touchdown of the game. He did, but his didn’t end in a field goal, but a touchdown. Justin Herbert wasn’t bothered by the Steelers’ opening drive, and came out determined to put together one of his own. The drive stalled in the red-zone and the Steelers settled for a 36-yard Chris Boswell field goal to make the score 3-0 with 8:29 left in the opening quarter. Roethlisberger looked comfortable from the first snap, and was able to move the ball into Los Angeles territory with several key third down conversions. The Steelers received the opening kickoff after losing the coin toss, and Ben Roethlisberger took the field for the first time since the Week 9 win over the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.

Watt, the Steelers were hoping to pull off a big-time upset on Sunday Night Football. With plenty going against them, like a defense without Minkah Fitzpatrick and T.J. would put the team behind the proverbial 8-ball in the AFC North division, and also drop them in the divisional standings. Coming off a 16-16 tie to the Detroit Lions in Week 10, losing in L.A.

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the Week 11 prime time showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers in a unique situation.
