00:00Steelers and Chargers, Steelers 2-0, Chargers are completely different than what we're used

00:08to.

00:09They're just running the ball a ton.

00:10And so, therefore, we've got a September total in the National Football League with two starting

00:15quarterbacks at 36 and a half, Matt, going into this week.

00:20I mean, this is a December total when both quarterbacks are hurt, and it's the backups.

00:24Yeah, and neither of them, you know, played the college ball at Iowa.

00:28I think that's what's the biggest upset here.

00:30You know, I picked against the Steelers last week.

00:33I don't think they're very good.

00:34I thought, you know, all right, they didn't score a touchdown in week one.

00:38They only scored one last week, and I know the Chargers aren't exactly lighting it up

00:43on the scoreboard with a high-flying offense, but like you said earlier, they are just running

00:46the ball down people's throats.

00:48The thing I worry about here, two straight trips out east for the Chargers.

00:52I know that might not matter as much as we used to once think it did, but it's getting

00:58tougher, and we know Pittsburgh has the defense, and we know they got a home crowd, and it's

01:02going to be ugly.

01:03It's funny.

01:04I looked at that total and thought, eh, it's probably going to be under, which is insane,

01:08but I think it's going to be a tough game.

01:09I'd give the very, very slight edge to Pittsburgh, but I wouldn't be surprised either way because

01:14Jim Harbaugh has his team playing like a Pittsburgh, so I think this will be a competitive game.
