Steelers Seek to Build Momentum

The Steelers bounced back from their 2-game losing streak in a big way, defeating the 7-1 Colts, 27-20. Pittsburgh's defense led the way, pressuring opposing QB Daniel Jones so aggressively that he threw 3 INTs and had his QBR drop from 1st in the NFL to 7th. On the other side of the ball, the Steelers still have a lot of work to do. RB Jaylen Warren and company rushed 23 times for just 38 yards (1.7 ypc) in the victory.

Chargers Keeping Pace in AFC West

The Chargers improved to 3-1 over the last four weeks, allowing them to keep pace in a division with the perennially dangerous Chiefs and the upstart Broncos. They can't let up in this easier stretch of their schedule, with road trips to Jacksonville, Dallas, Kansas City, and Denver still on the slate. Justin Herbert did the most damage using his legs in the win against the Titans and will aim for another strong start.

Steelers vs Chargers NFL Pick

The Chargers and Steelers are both capable AFC teams that are likely to make the postseason. Their recent common opponent, the Colts, favors the Steelers who managed to defeat them. That being said, Los Angeles should be able to make good work of their home-field advantage in this game. Look for the more balanced offense of the Chargers to earn them the difference they need to win this one at home.
