The Pittsburgh Steelers faced another tough night under prime-time pressure, falling 25-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Sunday Night Football. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers struggled, ending the game with 16 completions on 31 attempts for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. His passer rating of 50.6 was the lowest of his season and the fifth-lowest in his career for a full game.
“A lot of stuff wasn’t working. I was just a little bit off, missed DK [Metcalf] early, could’ve been a big play. But yeah, we didn’t run the ball super effectively in the first half. I missed, obviously, some throws, for sure. And then we weren’t getting guys open and couldn’t put it all together. Times guys were open, I missed the throws that I usually make.
“Our defense played really well tonight. Offensively, we were pretty bad. So, we’ve got to find a way to get open on third down, I’ve got to find a way to hit ‘em, because that was just some bad ball.”
Pittsburgh began the game with promising energy. Kicker Chris Boswell made a 59-yard field goal, marking his 50th career field goal of 50 yards or more out of 60 attempts, putting the Steelers ahead 3-0 early in the first quarter.
