Chargers Vs. Steelers Divisional Round


Chargers vs. Steelers- In the last matchup of the divisional round the San Diego Chargers travel to Heinz field to play the Steelers. The San Diego Chargers are not only the hottest team in football but they also have the hottest quarterback, Philip Rivers. In the first round of the playoffs the Chargers beat the Colts in overtime. Darren Sproles had 323 all-purpose yards filling in for Ladainian Tomlinson. We all know what Philip Rivers is capable of doing but this game is going to come down to whether or not the Steelers can contain Darren Sproles. On the other side, the Steelers led by Ben Roethlisberger, will need to limit turnovers and the offensive line with have to protect Big Ben. When these teams last met on week 11, the swirling snow limited both offenses and defenses. The game was a defensive controlled the game. Willie Parker rushed for 115 yards and Jeff Reed hit 3 field goals as the Steelers won 11-10. In today's game the weather will be an issue again as the temperature is predicted to be around 0 degrees.


Prediction- Josh Jakers- Chargers
Daniel Weberman- Steelers
