Steelers and Chargers Face Off in High-Stakes Sunday Night Showdown
It’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting matchups of the week — the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football . Both teams have plenty on the line, and the game promises drama, intensity, and maybe even a few surprises under the bright lights of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
into this Week 10 clash, the Chargers hold a 6–3 record, while the Steelers sit at 5–3. The stakes couldn’t be higher — Pittsburgh is leading the AFC North, but only narrowly, and a single slip-up could tighten the race with the Baltimore Ravens right behind them. Meanwhile, the Chargers are chasing the Denver Broncos in the AFC West, fighting to keep their playoff hopes strong.
The oddsmakers have the Chargers as three-point favorites, which isn’t too surprising given their home-field advantage. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET, with NBC, Peacock, and NFL+ carrying the live broadcast. But what makes this game especially interesting is how evenly matched these two squads appear on paper.

For the Chargers, veteran quarterback Justin Herbert continues to drive their offense. Through nine games, he’s thrown for 2,390 yards and 18 touchdowns, showing poise and precision under pressure. Even when his offensive line has been tested — especially after losing tackle Joe Alt to injury — Herbert has managed to keep his team moving. His connection with young wideout Ladd McConkey has been crucial; McConkey’s ability to stretch defenses and rack up yards after the catch has added an explosive element to L.A.’s passing game.
On the other side, Aaron Rodgers has been leading the Steelers offense, bringing his trademark calm and accuracy to Pittsburgh. Rodgers has thrown for over 1,600 yards with 17 touchdowns and only five interceptions so far this season. His chemistry with DK Metcalf has been electric, with Metcalf hauling in nearly 470 yards and five touchdowns. However, Pittsburgh’s offense still hasn’t found complete rhythm — something they’ll need to change if they want to beat a tough Jim Harbaugh-coached Chargers team.
Defensively, the Steelers have the talent — and the payroll — to dominate, but consistency has been their biggest challenge. Players like T.J. Watt will be key to disrupting Herbert’s timing and keeping the Chargers’ offense in check.
With the AFC playoff race heating up, this matchup feels like more than just another regular-season game. It’s a test of resilience, strategy, and execution for both sides. Whether you’re cheering for Rodgers’ veteran savvy or Herbert’s explosive playmaking, this Sunday night battle is set to deliver.
No matter who comes out on top, one thing’s certain — fans are in for a classic under the primetime lights.
