Steelers blame themselves not officials in costly loss to Chargers
The Steelers fell 33-30 to Los Angeles as a 16 point lead evaporated in the fourth quarter. Coach Mike Tomlin said he would stay quiet about officiating while noting penalties stalled multiple Pittsburgh drives. Desmond King returned a punt for a touchdown and Philip Rivers led the Chargers on late scoring drives to seal the win. Pittsburgh now faces a tough path to a fifth straight playoff berth with a visit to Oakland looming.
