Chargers, Steelers Set for Defensive Showdown

As the Los Angeles Chargers prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3, both teams bring undefeated records and top-tier defenses into the matchup. Despite the Chargers' defensive dominance under new coach Jim Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, ESPN's Mina Kimes suggests that Justin Herbert and the Chargers' offense might struggle against the Steelers' formidable defense. The Chargers have limited opponents to just 6.5 points per game, a significant improvement from last season, partly due to standout performances from players like Poona Ford and Otito Ogbonnia. The Steelers, led by Mike Tomlin, have also relied heavily on their defense while their offense continues to develop. Russell Wilson remains the quarterback for the Steelers. This game marks the first clash between two 2-0 teams with top-two scoring defenses since 1986, promising a tightly contested showdown.
