We’re swinging straight into Week 10 of the NFL season, and there’s nothing like a Sunday Night Football matchup between a pair of AFC conference standouts (not to mention awesome quarterbacks!) to close out everyone’s weekend football binge-a-thon in style.

How to Watch

This week’s SNF contest pits the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Los Angeles Chargers, each coming off tough in-conference wins in Week 9. It’s an AFC showdown between an ascendant QB talent in the Chargers’ Justin Herbert and a future Pro Football Hall of Fame QB veteran in the Steelers’ Aaron Rodgers… and it’s all going down this weekend on NBC and Peacock.

What to watch for in the Steelers vs. Chargers Sunday Night Football game

Tuning in to see how the Steelers and Chargers stack up against each other is a total no-brainer this Sunday — after all, they’re two of the AFC’s top teams. 

The Steelers lead their AFC North division and are coming off a huge Week 9 win against the Indianapolis Colts, handing the Colts only their second loss of the season last weekend by a 27-20 margin. The Chargers, meanwhile, are nipping close at the heels of the 7-2 Denver Broncos as the second-place squad in the AFC West, having eked out a tough road win last week against the Tennessee Titans… despite piles of early in-game adversity.

Ten weeks into his first-year stint with the Steelers, QB Aaron Rodgers has settled into his new Pittsburgh digs in a way that the former Green Bay Packers legend never quite managed during his previous two years as a New York Jet. He still needed all the help he could get in the Steelers’ head-turning win over Indianapolis last weekend — and for the first time in what feels like ages, the Steelers’ highly-touted defense rose to the occasion, sacking Colts QB Daniel Jones five times and forcing a game-changing six turnovers. 

Head coach Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers also needed a heavy lean on defense after QB Justin Herbert took six sacks and had an early interception returned for a touchdown in Los Angeles’ win last week against Tennessee. Herbert remains second only to the Colts’ Jones as the NFL’s current overall leader in passing yards (Rodgers is 21st), so the real strength-on-strength battle to watch for this Sunday could be whenever the Chargers possess the ball. 

That’s not to short the Steelers’ offense, which has found ways to win against stiff, playoff-potential competition like New England (in Week 3) and Indianapolis (Week 9). Rodgers accounted for 203 of the Steelers’ anemic 225 overall yards in their most recent Colts victory… which could be a roundabout way of saying that he’s crucial to Pittsburgh’s success under head coach Mike Tomlin’s current scheme, where gaining those precious run-first rushing yards has hardly come easily this season.
