The Steelers came out with a win over the Chargers, but a victory didn't always seem probable during the showdown in San Diego. The game was full of surprises (Wow, our placekicker did his job!), frustrations over officiating, and moments when it seemed Landry Jones was a better alternative to Michael Vick.
Here are some reactions from the Twitterverse about Monday night's game.
QB Michael Vick- A Mixed Bag
One more #PITvsSD thought. Michael Vick the only player in the NFL that can shut down Antonio Brown.

Apparently #mikevick didn't get the memo he was finished. #PITvsSD

Before Michael Vick came up with a few good plays, fans were not as kind.
Michael Vick is the only QB who could have people calling for Landry Jones. This is bad.

Maybe Michael Vick is right-handed.

Officiating- Lots of People Upset
18 seconds ran off the clock incorrectly last night (SDvPIT)...I hope the NFL looks into it!

Can you imagine the ruckus if this 18-second clock error had happened to the Steelers at Gillette Stadium?

@rayfitt1 how bout some love for Heath and taking a huge hit-holding on to the ball to get them to the 1

I see the Steelers are using the old run/run/incomplete pass/punt offense, popularized by Kordell Stewart.
