3 winners, 2 losers from Chargers-Steelers: Ladd McConkey stars for Bolts un primetime

The shorthanded Chargers managed to not only beat the Steelers, but they overwhelmed Pittsburgh to the tune of a 25-10 score and two interceptions off future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers.

Jesse Minter’s defense was stellar as they made the veteran quarterback uncomfortable all night long and were at their best when their best was needed, specifically in the red zone with their backs up against the wall.

It was a fun game to watch in the end, but you had to make it through a rather ugly start for both teams.

Below are my three winners and two losers from the...

Chargers Power Rankings Roundup: Bolts continue surge upwards with recent win

The Chargers won their third game in a row by beating the Steelers 25-10 in a Sunday Night Football matchup that featured some ugly play from both teams, but the Bolts defense ended up playing a key role in limiting Aaron Rodgers to one of his worst performances of the season.

If the Chargers and Jesse Minter’s defense can continue to play up to this level the rest of the way, their chances at the postseason will see a huge boost, especially if they can get into their by at 8-3.

With that said, let’s go ahead and see where...

Best and worst PFF grades from Chargers-Steelers: Youngsters lead way over PIT on Sunday Night Football

The Chargers won handedly in an ugly game over the Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Running back Kimani Vidal posted another game of over 100 yards of offense while safety R.J. Mickens recorded his second interception this season. Wideout Ladd McConkey was also top amongst pass-catchers with a season-high 107 yards and a touchdown on four catches.

Behind these youngsters, the Chargers turned a dismal game into one of their best victories this year just one week after Pittsburgh beat the Colts whom walloped the Bolts just a few week prior.

Let’s go ahead and see how the Chargers graded...

Keenan Allen makes Chargers history in win vs. Steelers

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...

Chargers reveal Week 10 inactives vs. Steelers

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.

Can the Bolts protect Herbert enough...
