UPDATE: The Los Angeles Chargers delivered a stunning performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning 25-10 at SoFi Stadium on November 9, 2025. The Chargers’ defense relentlessly pressured legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers, while wide receiver Keenan Allen made history with a franchise-record 956th career catch.
In a game that saw the Chargers dominate from start to finish, they took control early, leading 12-3 at halftime. The Chargers’ defensive line, led by Khalil Mack, sacked Rodgers three times, including a critical safety that set the tone for the night. The victory not only showcased the Chargers’ defensive prowess but also highlighted their offensive efficiency, with quarterback Justin Herbert completing 20 of 33 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown.
Chargers running back Kimani Vidal rushed for 95 yards on 25 carries, contributing to the team’s strong ground game. The Chargers scored first with a field goal from Cameron Dicker before Mack’s safety put them ahead, followed by a touchdown pass to rookie Ladd McConkey.
Rodgers struggled throughout the game, finishing with 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. The Steelers managed only three first downs and a total of 85 net yards in the first half, a stark contrast to the Chargers’ offensive efficiency.
The Chargers’ defense has now limited their last three opponents to just one touchdown over ten quarters. Mack’s performance was particularly noteworthy as he reached 111.5 career sacks, making him one of the elite defenders in the league.
The game marked a significant moment for Allen, who caught a 12-yard pass from Herbert late in the fourth quarter to set a new franchise record. The catch came with just over two minutes left, sealing his legacy as one of the Chargers’ all-time greats.
As the Chargers look to build on this momentum, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how they can maintain their defensive dominance going forward. The Steelers, on the other hand, will need to regroup and address their offensive struggles if they hope to turn their season around.
