How to watch Steelers vs. Chargers: NFL Week 3 free live stream

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania - The Los Angeles Chargers travel to Pittsburgh on Sunday to take on the Steelers in Week 3 of the NFL season at Acrisure Stadium. The CBS broadcast starts with kickoff at 1 p.m. Eastern.

Several streaming services will broadcast the game live and you can watch on Fubo (free trial and $30 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial), Paramount+ (free trial) and Sling (promotional offers).

When this West coast squad matches up with Steel city's finest, it can make quite a recipe of a thrilling game. The dynamic Los Angeles Chargers will take on a blue-collar Pittsburgh Steelers squad. The ironic thing is both teams enter this game with an undefeated record, but it's how the wins have come about that can be funny to look at.

The Chargers have steamrolled through their opponents, while the Steelers have won in what can be considered "ugly" fashion, not scoring 20 points in either win. Nonetheless, it's these two different styles that will be entertaining to watch take hold on Sunday.

Check out a complete rundown of NFL Week 3 action , including the schedule, predictions, previews, TV information and more.

Chargers - Steelers Matchup Preview The Chargers have run through their past opponents in Las Vegas and Carolina and outscored them by a tally of 48-13, but it's been the efficient passing from Justin Herbert that has been a treat to watch, leading to 274 yards and three touchdowns. The defense has done their job as well with 16 tackles from linebacker, Daiyan Henley, and linebacker Joey Bosa doing his thing with 2.0 sacks.

The Steelers have won both contests but made them ugly games to watch for the casual fan. But for the fans who love grueling defenses with an offense that has to earn their way to points, this is the team for them. They've turned to Justin Fields to keep the offense stable while Russell Wilson rehabs his injury, and Fields has done that with 273 yards and one touchdown. T.J. Watt has set the tone for the defense and dominated with two sacks already in the season.
