The STEELERS, on the other hand, can continue to climb through the ranks when they take on the SEAHAWKS Sunday at 1:15.

Coming off a dominating 30-2 win in week two, the STEELERS continued their momentum Sunday with another impressive performance, beating the 49ERS by a score of 34-0.

Quarterback Daniel Calero led the effort, throwing two second-half touchdowns to solidify the victory.

The STEELERS got the ball to start the game, taking an early 8-0 lead with a quick drive down the field. They added on a few plays later, as Calero picked off a 49ERS pass across the middle of the field. He stepped right in front of the receiver, taking the ball and returning it all the way. After a few minutes, the STEELERS were up 14-0.

The 49ERS recovered to close the half, forcing a turnover on downs, but they couldn’t find a way into the end zone. At halftime, the score remained 14-0, with the 49ERS set to receive the ball to begin the second half.

With a chance to cut into the lead, the 49ERS came out of the break flat, quickly turning the ball over. Calero made them pay, throwing a touchdown pass to the right side of the end zone. After the 49ERS turned it over again, Calero capped off his day with another touchdown pass to put the STEELERS up 26-0.

It was a showcase performance for the young quarterback, who continues to prove he’s among the league’s top gunslingers. His team wasn’t done though, adding a safety and a pick-six in the last few minutes to walk away with a 34-0 win.

The 49ERS will have to put this loss behind them quickly, as they need to win next week in order to avoid falling to the bottom of the division. The STEELERS, on the other hand, can continue to climb through the ranks when they take on the SEAHAWKS Sunday at 1:15.
