The Los Angeles Chargers are celebrating for many reasons after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 25-10 in Week 10’s edition of Sunday Night Football at SoFi Stadium.
Not only are the Chargers happy after a win, but wide receiver Keenan Allen surpassed tight end Antonio Gates for the most receptions in franchise history with 956. Allen caught a pass from quarterback Justin Herbert on a quick dump-off on the final offensive possession to achieve the feat.
Before that, the Chargers were dominant in their victory against the Steelers, holding them to a mere field goal before the final minutes of the...

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season.
The 6-3 Chargers are back at home tonight to host the 5-3 Steelers with both teams looking to boost their postseason chances with a win in primetime.
In Week Nine, the Bolts staved off a roaring effort by the Titans to outlast them 27-20. The Steelers made some noise by knocking off the Colts who came into that week with an NFL-best 7-2 record.
This is the first game the Chargers will play knowing that star left tackle Joe Alt is out for the year with an...

The Los Angeles Chargers are about to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in their Week 10 matchup on Sunday Night Football.
The Chargers have faced a number of injuries this season and that will affect them against the Steelers.
Defensive back Tony Jefferson (hamstring), cornerback Tarheeb Still (knee), outside linebacker Kyle Kennard, offensive tackle Bobby Hart (knee, ankle), offensive tackle Foster Sarell, wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) and tight end Will Dissly are also inactive for the Chargers against the Steelers. That should force the Chargers to rely on some of their depth pieces.
Wide receiver Scotty Miller, defensive...

Welcome to game day, everyone!
The 6-3 Chargers are in primetime tonight hosting the 5-3 Steelers inside SoFi Stadium. Pittsburgh got the best of the Bolts a season ago in a game Herbert missed time (and overall wasn’t 100 percent going into it) with an ankle injury. This season, the Chargers are once again affected by injuries that have sidelined several of their best players. The losses of Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt will be felt even more in this game with the likes of T.J. Watt coming off the edge for the Steelers.

The final injury report of Week 10 has dropped for the Chargers and it looks like they’ll have their starting right guard back in Mekhi Becton (knee) who was a full participant Friday and came completely off the report.
Offensive tackle Bobby Hart (knee/ankle) is the lone player ruled out for the Chargers after he failed to practice in any fashion this week. With him out, Trey Pipkins is the likely candidate to start at right tackle this week. Newly-acquired Trevor Penning, Jamaree Salyer, 0r Austin Deculus will likely get the nod at left tackle against the Steelers.

The Steelers have long been a consistent and competitive team in the AFC under Mike Tomlin. That continues to be the case this year, especially in a season where the rest of the AFC North has been bombarded with notable injuries, including to star quarterback Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson.
Pittsburgh has also long been associated with a tough and hard-nosed defense. That is the prime difference with this team compared to years past, however. They’re ranked 21st in the NFL with an average allowance of 24.4 points per game. They actually were even worse than that before putting a...

A big shoutout to him for his help, and let’s go ahead and jump on in!
1.) How has the Aaron Rodgers experience been thus far for the Steelers? Are fans behind him 100 percent? Are there skeptics in regards to how far he can take the team this season?
*There were plenty of — understandably — skeptical fans when the season started, but Rodgers has met expectations and then some during his time...

The Chargers’ second injury report of Week 10 got a little bit bigger from Wednesday as two new names were added in cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (groin) and wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring).
As for the players who were already on the report from Wednesday, both Khalil Mack and Keenan Allen returned from veteran days off.
Right guard Mekhi Becton logged another limited practice session as he continues to come back from a knee injury that kept him out of the team’s win over the Titans. Defensive tackle Da’Shawn Hand was also limited in his return from IR (groin).

The Chargers opened Week 10 prep for the Steelers with an injury report that fortunately fell short of double-digits, but not by much. Nine players graced Wednesday’s report in all with offensive tackle Bobby Hart and cornerback Tarheeb Still as the headliners, both of whom were non-participants in practice.
Both Khalil Mack and Keenan Allen were also DNPs, although those were simply much-deserved veteran days off.
Of the remaining five players on the report, offensive guard Mekhi Becton (knee), defensive line Da’Sahwn hand (groin), and safety Tony Jefferson (hamstring) were limited. Hand also had his 21-day window activated to return...
