Welcome to the Terrible Take and any podcast telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind.

I'm Josh Carney.

Coming off of the impressive week nine win against the Indianapolis Colts, the big question for the Pittsburgh Steelers, particularly on defense, is, can you do it again?

Nobody is expecting six turnovers forced, but going on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football is a tough task, and it will be a major test for the Steelers' defense.

Fortunately for Pittsburgh, they should have a bit of an advantage. The Chargers are down

their two starting tackles in Joe Alt and Rishon Slater. Though they traded for Trevor

Penning Tuesday at the trade deadline, rolling with a backup tackle and potentially a new face against the Steelers' pass rush

seems like a really tough ask.

Last season, Pittsburgh's pass rush eight against the Chargers.

Pittsburgh sacked Justin Herbert and Taylor Heineke five times in last season's 20 to 10 win

at Accrocer Stadium.

And that game had both Slater and Alt healthy.

Nick Herbig had two sacks, while Cameron Hayward and T.J. Watt had one sack each.

Even former linebacker Elandin Roberts had a sack in that matchup.

Entering Week 10's matchup, the Steelers are fully healthy at outside linebacker,

and the defensive line is heating up with Hayward, Keanu Benton, and Derek Harmon, coming off of a great game

against the Colts.

Mike Tomlin and the Steelers know just how great Justin Herbert is as a passer.

But if they can take advantage of their matchup problems along the defensive front, it

could be a very long day for Los Angeles' star quarterback.

Time to pin those years back and hunt, pass rushers.
