The Pittsburgh Steelers' 20-10 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Sunday was the third straight time they've allowed 10 of fewer points in a game this season.

Unsurprisingly, the Steelers are now 3-0 and lead the AFC North.

With their red-hot start to the 2024 season, the Steelers have reached a level of defensive excellence they haven't hit in over five decades.

In addition, Pittsburgh held the Chargers to just 168 yards on Sunday, meaning the Steelers have limited their opponents to 10 points or less and under 300 total yards in each of their first three games this season. No other team in the NFL has down that in 20 years.
