The Steelers finally had their home opener after two consecutive games on the road to open the 2024 season.They celebrated it in grand fashion, putting out a strong showing offensively and defensively against the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Chargers.
Justin Fields threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Austin III and also ran for a touchdown himself, as the Steelers stayed unbeaten at 3-0 with a 20-10 victory Sunday over the Chargers at Acrisure Stadium. Fields, subbing for an injured Russell Wilson for the third consecutive game, had his most productive day of the season, throwing for 245 yards. The Steelers defense, meanwhile, limited the Los Angeles offense, which entered the game averaging 197.5 rushing yards over the first two weeks of the season to just 61 yards on 20 carries, putting the entire game in the hands of quarterback Justin Herbert.
The Steelers finished the second half allowing negative-5 total yards for the Chargers (2-1), becoming the first team in 20 years to allow fewer than 10 points and 300 total yards in each of their first three games.
