Pittsburgh Steelers Improve to 3-0 After Win

The Pittsburgh Steelers remain undefeated at 3-0 after a 20-10 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, showcasing a gritty defensive performance and a solid outing from quarterback Justin Fields, who completed 78.1% of his passes. However, the team faces significant injury challenges as rookie offensive tackle Troy Fautanu has been placed on injured reserve and linebacker Alex Highsmith awaits MRI results for a groin injury. Head coach Mike Tomlin's old-school approach focuses on a strong running game and defense, which has allowed the Steelers to compete despite recent struggles in offensive depth. As they navigate injuries to key players like Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, Tomlin emphasizes the need for others to step up. This strategy has kept the Steelers competitive in the AFC, although questions about their long-term viability remain. Bill Belichick noted that despite concerns over their quarterback situation, Fields has shown significant growth, suggesting that the Steelers might have one of the league's top quarterbacks.
