Rodgers' Struggles

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had his worst performance of the season. The four-time MVP completed 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards, was sacked three times, and threw two interceptions. He scored his first touchdown late in the game on a 27-yard pass to Roman Wilson with 2:57 remaining.

“Rodgers looked every bit of his 41 years.”

Steelers' Offensive Challenges

The AFC North-leading Steelers displayed difficulties on offense, converting only one third-down in nine attempts before their lone touchdown drive. Aside from the touchdown, their only other points came from a 59-yard field goal by Chris Boswell in the first quarter.

“They were 0 for 9 on third down before converting on their lone TD drive.”

Game Context

Coming off an exciting 27-20 victory over AFC South leader Indianapolis last week, the Steelers lost ground by dropping three of their last four games.

Key Defensive Highlight

The Chargers’ defense held Rodgers without a touchdown until late in the game, which was a critical factor in their win.

Author’s summary: The Chargers regained momentum with a strong defensive effort, overcoming Aaron Rodgers’ struggles to avenge earlier season losses and secure a solid 25-10 victory over the Steelers.
