The Pittsburgh Steelers faced ongoing offensive struggles during their Sunday Night Football game, falling 25-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, nearing 42 years old, experienced a difficult night under the prime-time spotlight.
“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.”
The Steelers started strong with Chris Boswell kicking a 59-yard field goal early in the first quarter, marking his 50th career field goal from 50-plus yards out in 60 attempts and giving Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead.
However, offensive difficulties prevented the team from sustaining momentum, contributing to the eventual 25-10 defeat.
Author’s summary: Aaron Rodgers candidly acknowledged his missed throws as the Steelers’ offense struggled, leading to a decisive loss against the Chargers despite strong defensive efforts.
