In this stout defensive battle between the Steelers and Chargers in the 2008 NFL Season, superstar Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison was the most spectacular player on the field throughout. Early in the second quarter, Harrison made quick work of the opposing tight end as he fought his way towards the quarterback, who had dropped back to pass in his own end zone. He knocked the ball free for a fumble, and when a Charger lineman had scooped it up, he quickly helped to bring him down for a safety. Later in the game, Harrison showed off his skills in pass coverage, picking off a misplaced throw and returning it 33 yards to set the Steelers offense up with great field position. All told, Harrison was credited with four tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, a safety, an interception, and a forced fumble, as he led the Steelers to an 11-10 win over San Diego on Nov. 16, 2008.
