The Steelers\u2019 first touchdown came early in the game when Fields connected with tight end Darnell Washington for a five-yard score, marking Washington\u2019s first career touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some setbacks, including penalties that stalled drives, the Steelers managed to extend their lead with a 22-yard field goal from Chris Boswell, making it 10-0 at halftime.

Mandatory Credit: Barry Reeger-USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Steelers\u2019 start this season may not be as great as many thought. According to an NFL\u00a0analysis by ESPN\u2019s Brooke Pryor, their lack of touchdowns is a concern that needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The early surprise:<\/strong>\u00a0The Steelers are winning without scoring touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The verdict:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Mirage.<\/strong>\u00a0The Steelers are 2-0 despite scoring only one touchdown thanks to kicker\u00a0Chris Boswell\u00a0and an aggressive, ball-hawking defense. But the Steelers can\u2019t rely on those things for an entire season and will need to find the end zone more consistently.\u00a0Justin Fields\u00a0threw his first touchdown pass as a Steeler to TE\u00a0Darnell Washington\u00a0in the first half of the\u00a0Week 2 win in Denver, but self-inflicted wounds have prevented other such scores. The Steelers are the fifth team in the Super Bowl era to start 2-0 despite scoring one or zero offensive touchdowns, per ESPN Research. The Steelers\u2019 2010 team, which went 12-4 before losing to the Packers in Super Bowl XLV, is among that group.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers, despite having only one touchdown in two weeks, are undefeated as they prepare to face the 2-0 Los Angeles Chargers. To secure a victory, the Steelers must elevate their performance, especially against a Chargers team that ranks high in point differential after impressive wins over the Raiders and Panthers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_259094\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-259094\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-259094 ezlazyloaded\" title=\"Pittsburgh Steelers Hit With Harsh Reality Check Despite Strong Start 3\" src=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres.webp?ezimgfmt=rs:783x1175\/rscb1\/ng:webp\/ngcb1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 1280w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-200x300.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 200w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-683x1024.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 683w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-768x1152.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 768w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-1024x1536.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 1024w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-150x225.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 150w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-450x675.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 450w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-1200x1800.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 1200w\" alt=\"Pittsburgh Steelers, Justin Fields\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1920\" data-ezsrcset=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 1280w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-200x300.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 200w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-683x1024.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 683w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-768x1152.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 768w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-1024x1536.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 1024w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-150x225.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 150w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-450x675.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 450w,https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres-1200x1800.webp?ezimgfmt=ng:webp\/ngcb1 1200w\" data-ezsrc=\"https:\/\/gridironheroics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/USATSI_23962419_168410494_lowres.webp?ezimgfmt=rs:783x1175\/rscb1\/ng:webp\/ngcb1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-259094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aug 9, 2024; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields (2) throws a pass against the Houston Texans during the first quarter at Acrisure Stadium.
