Although the Denver Broncos have received a lot of bad press for their performances this season, has the media ignored how bad the Chargers have looked at times?

Although the Chargers were able to mount a comeback attempt versus the Steelers on SNF, they were dominated in both phases the entire first-half and most of the third quarter.

The Chargers simply could not get anything going, and couldn’t slow what the Steelers had going for them.

Keep in mind, the Chargers, like most years, are extremely banged up right now. This game was Hunter Henry’s first all season, and the Chargers have been without Melvin Ingram for a while.
