I was watching the Chargers/Steelers game last night.
Great hard-fought game.
Both teams deserved to win.
But this was litmus test for where these teams stand at this point in the season.
The Chargers are ascending and the Steelers are in decline.
During long QB option run....Heyward was able to lumber behind Herbert and catch him from behind.....then he stayed on top of him holding him down for some reason. A Charger player ran over like he's supposed to and told Heyward to get off his QB trying to get him off of him....and Heyward started swinging at him....then drove his fist and elbow into Herbert's stomach. It was flagged....and will probably result in a fine.....but no suspension. Heyward has since apologized....but the blow wasn't an accident....it was intentional.
What do you think?
Here's the play....you decide.
