In the middle of the playoff hunt and your starting quarterback is coming back to the field after a three-game absence. What are you going to do next, Pittsburgh Steelers? Lose to the lowly San Diego Chargers? Really?
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- Steelers receiver Mike Wallace was contrite following their 34-24 stinker against San Diego Sunday afternoon, though perhaps time will only tell if it's good enough for those at Heinz Field who booed him loudly in defeat.
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- On an already unfortunate day, it's somewhat fitting safety Troy Polamalu hinted he may have suffered yet another lower-body injury, though he made no suggestion it was a serious one.
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- Never one to pass the buck, Ben Roethlisberger, who completed half his attempts for 285 yards, three touchdowns, and one costly pick in his return Sunday, stood up for the teammate who postured for big bucks over the summer.
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- It happens quite often in the NFL, but it's hard for a team under the Steelers' evolving circumstances to justify an incredibly lackluster performance one week after an incredibly gutsy one. Head coach Mike Tomlin, however, tried his best.
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- Although the San Diego Chargers have more or less played their way out of playoff contention, Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley expects a tough test when they invade Heinz Field Sunday.
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- Willie Colon has been one of the walking wounded on the Steelers' offensive line, but he likes his chances to stay healthy against the Chargers, and he likes the way things are coming together for his team with the return of Ben Roethlisberger.
Whether you've had a few too many cold ones or the kids have waited until the last second to let you know that nature's calling, when you've got to go, you've got to go. And when you're in a hurry, it helps to know where to go when tailgating at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field.
PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) -- The last time the San Diego Chargers visited Heinz Field, they were humbled in a 2008 playoff contest en route to the Steelers' sixth world championship, and, several weeks prior, the Steelers beat them in unconventional 11-8 fashion, highlighted by the play of Troy Polamalu.
Ike Taylor and LaMarr Woodley may be out for the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5) when they host the San Diego Chargers (4-8) at Heinz Field Sunday, but the return of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to the field and players returning from injury lists puts the Steelers in great position to win the game.
