Chargers at Steelers: Third quarter update (The Fifth Quarter)

Chargers at Steelers: Third quarter update

Steelers 21, Chargers 10

Third quarter notes:

-- 7:04: The Steelers go on one of their most impressive drives of the season with the second-half kickoff -- 77 yards in seven plays, with Roethlisberger hitting Heath Miller twice for big plays, including an eight-yard touchdown to make it 21-10. Roethlisberger rolls right and Miller released underneath and is wide open.

-- 6:47: Huge momentum swing. Twice. After Darren Sproles returns a kickoff 63 yards to the Steelers 23, Philip Rivers' first pass attempt is tipped at the line by Brett Keisel and intercepted by a diving Larry Foote. Killer turnover for San Diego, which blew a chance to get back into the game.

-- 2:02: The Chargers are making all the critical errors. The punt muff was a killer. San Diego's offense snapped one play in the third quarter.
