The Pittsburgh Steelers will try to avoid their first three-game losing streak in three seasons Sunday night when they look to maintain their home-field dominance over the San Diego Chargers.

For those doing some online football betting, the Steelers are currently listed as 7-point favorites.

Pittsburgh has not lost three straight since Oct. 22-Nov. 5, 2006, and since Dec. 7, 2003 the Steelers have won 34 of 43 at Heinz Field.

Add to that the fact that the Chargers have never won in 13 regular-season matchups in Pittsburgh and you can spot the trend.

Then again, San Diego is off to its best start in Norv Turner’s three seasons as coach despite being last in the AFC with 66.3 rushing yards per game.

San Diego linebacker Shawne Merriman is questionable against the Steelers after leaving in the third quarter last Sunday with a groin injury.
