The Chargers defense stepped up in a huge way in primetime as Jesse Minter’s unit basically pitched a shut out. Could this be the win that shows the Chargers are still for real? Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier break down the Chargers 25-10 victory over the Steelers, including the incredible game plan by the defense. The defense won the game with their defense by battering and turning over Aaron Rodgers and coming up with big stops. The Chargers undermanned offense was opportunistic and Justin Herbert and company came through when it mattered most.
