Steelers GameDay Cheat Sheet is a weekly series featuring a quick glance at the upcoming Steelers game, including odds, records, things to watch for, and how to watch/listen to the game.
Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3) at Los Angeles Chargers (6-3)
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers are set to clash in a high-stakes Week 10 matchup that carries both historical weight and playoff implications. This will be the 37th all-time meeting between the two franchises, with Pittsburgh holding a commanding 25-11 series lead—including a 24-9 edge in regular-season play. But recent trends and individual performances suggest this won’t be a one-sided affair.
Both teams enter the contest with standout contributors on each side of the ball. Aaron Rodgers continues to anchor the Steelers’ offense with 17 touchdown passes—tied for third-most in the league—while the defense is coming off a dominant Week 9 showing that included five sacks, three interceptions, and three forced fumbles. On the other side, Justin Herbert has quietly put together another prolific campaign, surpassing 23,000 career passing yards and tying Peyton Manning for the fourth-most games with multiple TD passes in a quarterback’s first six seasons.
From explosive wideouts like D.K. Metcalf and Ladd McConkey to disruptive defenders like T.J. Watt and Khalil Mack, this game features no shortage of star power. With both teams jockeying for position in a crowded AFC race, Sunday’s showdown at SoFi Stadium promises to be a pivotal chapter in a rivalry that’s as competitive as it is historic.
