The Pittsburgh Steelers went on the road to face off against the Los Angeles Chargers in the Week 10 battle. Many football fans were hopeful for an exciting Sunday night game, but it turned ugly for much of the contest, particularly for the Steelers' offense. Aaron Rodgers struggled mightily, having arguably his worst game of the season. He was off all night long, missing open receivers and forcing plays into coverage, which played a major factor in the team scoring just three points for the majority of the game. The Chargers capitalized on the mistakes, taking control right around halftime and never letting go, as the Steelers fell 25-10 and dropped to 5-4 on the 2025 season.

Rodgers’ struggles on Sunday night were evident not just on the stat sheet but in the overall flow of the game. The offensive line did a decent job of giving Rodgers the time he needed in the pocket. However, the wide receivers and tight ends struggled once again to create meaningful separation down the field. Even when he had time to throw, his accuracy and decision-making were off, frustrating fans and teammates alike. The Steelers’ inability to generate points made the matchup feel one-sided despite a few sparks of hope late in the game.
While speaking to members of the Steelers media after the loss, Rodgers made some comments that drew immediate attention. ESPN insider Brooke Pryor noticed something interesting during the press conference that could hint at Rodgers’ mindset moving forward. Although the Steelers’ loss was discouraging, Rodgers’ cryptic remarks suggested he may already be looking ahead to how the team can turn things around in the second half of the season, leaving fans and analysts eager for more clarity on his plan.

For Rodgers, his postgame press conference was certainly interesting. On one hand, the 41-year-old quarterback has been around and experienced brutal games before. However, this was arguably the worst game of his career. It was a night to forget for Rodgers and the Steelers offense. That didn’t stop him, though, from making an eye-opening comment about the Super Bowl.

There’s a lot of debate over whether this Steelers team is a legitimate Super Bowl contender. They haven’t won a playoff game since the 2016 season, and fans are eager for the drought to end in Pittsburgh. To make that a reality, the team will need much more from Rodgers and this offense than what they showed on Sunday night against the Chargers.
Steelers' Offense Lets Down Team After Defense Finally Shows Up
For the first time in the 2025 season, it felt like the Steelers defense had finally stopped the bleeding. They were in the backfield early and successfully disrupted the Chargers’ high-powered offensive attack.

Unfortunately, the Steelers offense couldn’t capitalize on that strong defensive performance, and eventually, the Chargers pulled away. This loss, arguably for the first time this season, falls squarely on the offense rather than the defense. The two sides just can’t seem to get in sync.
Hearing Rodgers make a cryptic comment about playing in the Super Bowl is intriguing, but after a loss like the Steelers had on Sunday night, the timing feels odd.
