Nostalgia will be in the air when the Pittsburgh Steelers play host to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in a matchup between 2-0 teams.
Chargers coach John Harbaugh will return to the city where he nearly pulled off what would been one of the most remarkable plays in NFL history. Had Aaron Bailey been able to hold on to his Hail Mary on the final play of the 1995 AFC Championship game, Harbaugh and the Colts would have advanced to the Super Bowl, while in the process handing the Steelers a second straight gut-wrenching playoff defeat (the Steelers were upset by the Chargers at home in the ’94 AFC title game).
On the other side, there’s some irony in that Justin Fields will make his Steelers home debut 20 years after Ben Roethlisberger made his in what was an unexpected year for both him and Pittsburgh, who went 15-1 during the regular season. Fields is off to a similar strong start, and so are the Steelers after winning both of their first two games on the road for the first time in 25 years.
Nostalgia aside, this is a compelling matchup between two teams who are eerily similar. Both Pittsburgh and Los Angeles have strong running games and tough defenses that are spearheaded by some of the NFL’s best linebackers. A big storyline for this game is the status of Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who is questionable to play after he sustained a high-ankle sprain during last week’s win over Carolina.
Now that the table has been set, here’s how you can follow the action in real time, along with a full breakdown of Sunday’s game and a prediction to boot.
