Steelers...11 Chargers...10

The only thing perfect on a snowy, frigid day when the weather and the offenses were equally awful was San Diego’s regular-season record in Pittsburgh.

It’s now 0-13.

Ben Roethlisberger stayed away from the mistakes that cost the Steelers their previous two home games, Willie Parker ran for 115 yards and Jeff Reed’s third field goal won it -- a 32-yarder with 11 seconds remaining -- as Pittsburgh rallied to beat the Chargers.

The unusual final score of 11-10 was the first in NFL history, and it was in jeopardy when Troy Polamalu returned an errant lateral 12 yards for an apparent touchdown on the final play. But the play was overturned on review.

Nate Kaeding put San Diego (4-6) ahead, 10-8, with a 22-yard field goal with 6:41 to play, after missing from the 41 in the third quarter with the Steelers (7-3) leading, 8-7.

Quoteworthy: “It was weird. We definitely have to work on our offense. But this game is about wins and losses, and we won.” -- Hines Ward, Steelers receiver
