Steelers vs. Chargers


The Steelers advance to the AFC Championship with a 35-24 win over the Chargers. The Steelers defense came to play and completely shutdown Darren Sproles and the Chargers running game to just 15 yards rushing. The Steelers defense shutdown the passing game for the most part. QB Ben Roethlisberger stayed consist by delivering the ball with accuracy and not turning the ball over. QB Philip Rivers threw for 308 yards and 3 touchdowns and 1 interception in a losing effort. Willie Parker and the the Steelers running game was unstoppable and the Chargers could do nothing about it. The highlighted player of this game was running back Willie Parker.
