    The Chargers have two of the luckiest touchdowns you will ever see tonight. The first was a play that was allowed to continue after the right tackle went a full second early.

    Just now, Philip Rivers threw a ball right into the hands of Steelers' cornerback Joe Haden. Pittsburgh safety Sean Davis collided with Haden, knocking the ball up in the air and Keenan Allen caught it for a touchdown. Haden had to leave the game after the play, forcing the Steelers to put the truly awful Artie Burns in the game. The Chargers went right at him and got an easy two-point conversion. Steelers lead, 23-15, but this has the feel of a loss in progress.

    LA also got a big break on Pittsburgh's first drive of the second half with a phantom holding call that brought back a huge run by James Conner.

    The Chargers just got a punt return for a touchdown and hit another two-point conversion. Game is tied, 23-23. Sometimes I really hate being right.

    The officiating has been horrendous in this game. They missed a block in the back that got the return guy loose on the touchdown. Of course, the Steelers' gunner also whiffed on the tackle. The officiating is an issue, but Pittsburgh deserves to be in trouble here.

    The Steelers are going to lose this game and I think they are going to miss the playoffs. They are just playing horribly right now.

    JuJu had the ball right on the line when his knee hit. Then Lynn walks in front of the ref and
    points to a spot about a yard further back.

    He wasn’t touched, he was touched where it was spotted.

    He kept going further back after he was touched. Doesn't matter they got it on the next play.

    Pittsburgh's right guard has gotten dump trucked on the last three passing plays.

    The Switzer kid just took his helmet off to make sure his head wasn't in it.
    Good Heavens.

    Damn he was flattened. Was like an LT or Singletary tackle in Tecmo Bowl.

    Agreed. I don't think that was a bad call. There have been plenty of awful calls and non-calls tonight, but that wasn't one of them.

    Next Sunday night's beauty, Rams-Bears. Guess Al knows for sure Trubisky is playing. Don't see
    that game being a beauty with Daniel at QB.

    Steelers should just keep going offsides and see if SD will go for the TD.
