Chargers Steel Themselves for Pittsburgh

The Chargers will try to continue their winning ways Sunday against the Steelers.

The 4-5 Chargers fired defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell during their bye week, then struggled to eke out a 20-19 win over Kansas City at home last Sunday. San Diego has been having trouble running -- 25th in the NFL at 95.5 yards per game and 22nd with a 3.9 per carry average despite the presence of LaDainian Tomlinson, now healthy after starting the season with a sore toe.

The Steelers, meanwhile, fell into a tie with Baltimore by losing at home to Indianapolis last week when Ben Roethlisberger threw three interceptions, two that were extremely costly. Roethlisberger took full responsibility, declining to blame an injured shoulder.
 
"The good thing is it's not the end of the season. We'll come back," Roethlisberger says.

So who's going home with a W? Tune in Sunday at 1:15 p.m to find out.
