Winners and losers from Pittsburgh Steelers’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers moved to 3-0 on Sunday with an imposing victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. This was the most impressive victory for the Steelers, but it is not without its warts.
Here are the winners and losers from Pittsburgh’s win:
Winner: Justin Fields
Justin Fields did everything the Steelers asked him to do on Sunday and then some. He threw with anticipation to open throwing lanes over the middle of the field, an area the Steelers have purposefully avoided in the first two weeks of the season. He ended up going 25 of 32 for 245 passing yards on the day. A lot of his percentage throws were in the quick game early, and he opened up the game 10 for 10 before finally throwing an incompletion.
Fields was efficient and took the shots down the field when he needed. His ability to see the field and process open spots in the middle of the field is progression. He looks much calmer in the pocket. This is a huge win for Fields.
Loser: Spencer Anderson
Anderson had the full time starting left guard spot through two weeks, but his obvious struggles made the Steelers turn to Mason McCormick for portions of the game. McCormick had some good moments, but Anderson struggled in the run game. He could start next week if Isaac Seumalo is out, but his performances have left a lot to be desired, so he belongs on this list, especially with McCormick knocking at the door.
Winner: Calvin Austin III and Scotty Miller
Loser: Van Jefferson
I will put these together in one paragraph. The Steelers needed someone to step up outside of George Pickens. Well, they did find two guys willing and ready to do that. It would be Scotty Miller and Calvin Austin III. Austin caught the huge 53-yard touchdown from Fields and made a few plays on the outside. He is strictly a speedy slot player, but that is enough to have significant value to the Steelers. Miller had only been getting snaps in 13 personnel, but he has the speed and quickness to make things happen after the catch. They combined for six catches for 126 yards, which is a healthy production outside Pickens.
On the other hand, Jefferson struggled to maintain his seniority, and it is hard to envision him keeping that for much longer. He might be a quality blocker at times, but the Steelers need the speed and juice that Miller and Austin bring over Jefferson, who has not given them nearly enough production.

Winner: Nick Herbig
Herbig deserves all the praise in the world for stepping into the shoes that Alex Highsmith left behind. In just eight pass-rushing snaps, he had racked up three pressures and two sacks, including a strip sack. Herbig is just too explosive to sit on the bench for much longer, and even when Highsmith is back and healthy, the Steelers need to find meaningful snaps for Herbig.
His productivity is through the roof. Whenever he gets a shot, Herbig makes it all happen. Pittsburgh found another steal in the fourth round in what looks to be a seriously good pass rusher.
Loser: Beanie Bishop
Bishop has been fine, but he still has much growing to do. Ladd McConkey gave the Steelers some trouble, and Bishop’s strong suit has never been in coverage. It has almost always been coming downhill and tackling. His strengths are that he excels and is clear, but Bishop needs to do more to hold down this spot full time whenever Cam Sutton returns after the bye week.

Video shows Amazon driver illegally passing school bus in Pittsburgh area
A West Deer Township woman captured video of an Amazon driver illegally passing a school bus on Saxonburg Boulevard, saying it’s not the first time it has happened.
“They act like it’s a racetrack,” Carley Gavulich said of Tuesday’s incident. “What if there was multiple children? What if you were to hit my child, anyone’s child?”
It felt too close to home for Gavulich. She was waiting for her son to come off the bus from Curtisville Primary Center when it happened on Tuesday.
“He actually was getting his new dirt bike delivered, so that’s why we were even recording,” she said.
She wanted to get his reaction to the dirt bike. Instead, the bus driver pulled up, and the Amazon Prime truck blew past the stop-arm.
“The Deer Lakes School District’s top priority is always the safety, security, and wellbeing of its students,” a spokesperson for the district said on Friday. “The District is aware of the situation and is taking all steps to address any concerns.”
A spokesperson for Amazon told KDKA it is looking into the incident and will take appropriate actions after a review.
“Amazon should hold him 100% accountable,” Gavulich said.
But whoever was driving is not the only person Gavulich believes needs a bus safety refresher. She said her husband has witnessed vehicles blowing by the stop-arm at least seven times.
Both are grateful that the bus driver saw the delivery truck coming and stopped her son from getting off.
“She is amazing, 100 percent props to her. If she would have let him off that bus, we would be having a different conversation,” Gavulich said.
The chief of the West Deer Police Department told KDKA that someone in the community had notified him about this. He added that all the district’s buses have cameras and that an officer will review the video and approve the violation.
That video from the bus has not come in yet, though, the chief said on Friday, adding that it can take a few days.

Plum Borough parents charged with supplying alcohol for underage drinking party
Two parents are facing charges after police say more than 60 teenagers were drinking at a large party in their Plum Borough home.
According to court paperwork, Ian and Corrine Dryburgh have been charged with endangering the welfare of children, corruption of minors, and furnishing liquor to minors stemming from the incident that happened at a home in Plum Borough late last month.
Police said that officers went to the home after receiving a tip about a large party involving high school aged children.
When officers arrived at the home, they found numerous teenagers, empty beer cans and empty seltzer cans, and multiple bottles of vodka.
The parents told police that a birthday party for their 17-year-old daughter got out of hand and that some kids has been kicked out, but more came and they didn’t know what to do.
According to the criminal complaint, officers said they had been called to the home two previous times for similar reasons.
Police said a total of 66 underage kids were at the home.
Court records show that both parents have been cited via summons and preliminary hearings are scheduled for mid-April.
