In one of the most intriguing games on the Week 3 slate, the Los Angeles Chargers (2-0) head to Acrisure Stadium to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0). It has the makings of a tough dogfight in the trenches where the best defense and running game will emerge victorious.
This will be the 36th time these two teams have played one another and the Steelers have chalked up victories in 24 of those. They hold the all-time series lead at 24-11.
However, the Chargers won the most recent meeting in a shootout in 2021.
