2012 Steelers 24 vs Chargers 34 The Steelers fall to the Chargers in a game dominated by San Diego from start to finish. Big Ben returns from injury, throwing for 285 yds and 3 TDs, but a costly lateral ruled as a fumble results in an easy Chargers TD. San Diego capitalizes on consecutive plays, including a 40-yd TD pass to Malcolm Floyd, to build a 27-3 lead. Mike Wallace records 112 yds and 2 TDs but drops a key pass that could have shifted momentum. The Steeler defense fails to generate turnovers, and the offense struggles, managing just 69 rushing yds. Philip Rivers throws for 200 yds and 3 TDs, effectively dismantling the Steelers defense despite missing key offensive linemen. Missed opportunities and lack of energy contribute to the Steelers' poor performance, and fans voice frustration throughout the game. |
