The Monday Night Football game for this week will feature the Pittsburgh Steelers traveling to San Diego to take on the Chargers. Both of these teams are coming in with a record of 2-2. This will be quite an interesting game because both of these teams rally want to get that third win in hopes of making the playoffs.
When Big Ben originally went down with an injury, I though the Steelers would be able to survive with Michael Vick. I am starting to lose that belief though. Ever since that injury occurred, the Steelers have played super conservative. They still have a great team, but the play calling for the Steelers have not been good. Last week it seemed like they would randomly isolate the ball from certain players. The fact that late in the game Le'veon Bell did not get the ball, just proves how bad the play calling for the Steelers has been. Hopefully for the Steelers can turn it around before Ben Roethlisberger gets back because it looks like the Bengals are pulling away.
The Chargers are a team that is very solid. Nobody has really been talking about the Chargers, but I could definitely see them making the playoffs. Keenen Allen is a great receiver and I would not be surprised if he has a good game. They also have one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the NFL in Phillip Rivers. Phillip Rivers is easily a top quarterback in the league. The Chargers are also the home team. Home field advantage is something that I am a huge believer in.
Overall, I feel like without Big Ben the Steelers are not going to be able to handle the Chargers. The Chargers are a better team than the Steelers when their is no Big Ben. I do think that this will be a close game though.
28-20 Chargers
