PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers knocked off the Los Angeles Chargers 20-10 in thrilling fashion at Acrisure Stadium, but the story of the game might not be the team going to 3-0 or even how they did it as a team. Instead, it might be drilled right down to Justin Fields.

Though the Chargers were without an injured Justin Herbert and Joey Bosa for much of the game, the Steelers played the part of a legitimate AFC contender and are now 3-0 to start the season, marking the first time in Fields’s young career that he’s won three consecutive games.

Justin Herbert gave it his best shot, but in the end, his high-ankle sprain proved to be too painful to play through. The Chargers quarterback made it to midway through the third quarter before he exited Sunday's game against the Steelers for good after taking a sack that made his already painful injury even worse.
