The Pittsburgh Steelers have embraced a gritty, old-school style of football that has propelled them to a 3-0 start this season. Under head coach Mike Tomlin, the team has leaned into a physical, defense-first approach that has proven effective in the early weeks of the NFL season.
In their latest victory, a 20-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, the Steelers showcased their signature style. Quarterback Justin Fields led a decisive 13-play, 70-yard touchdown drive late in the game, while the defense overwhelmed the Chargers’ offense, holding them to minus-5 yards in the second half. Steelers linebacker Elandon Roberts sacked Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, and backup Taylor Heinicke struggled to find rhythm, absorbing three sacks in just four snaps.
This win highlighted the team’s commitment to a physical brand of football, with a strong running game and a relentless defense. The Steelers’ final three possessions in the game were marked by a dominant 222 yards and 10 points, showcasing their ability to control the clock and impose their will on opponents.
While the team’s style may not be flashy, it has proven effective. The Steelers’ defense has allowed an NFL-low 26 points through three games, and the offense has shown resilience and determination. As the season progresses, the Steelers will look to continue their strong start and prove that their brand of football can succeed in the modern NFL.
