UPDATE: The Los Angeles Chargers delivered a stunning performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, securing a decisive 25-10 victory at SoFi Stadium on November 9, 2025. This victory was highlighted by a record-setting night for Keenan Allen, who became the franchise leader with his 956th career catch.
The Chargers’ defense was relentless, consistently pressuring future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers throughout the game. Rodgers struggled mightily, completing only 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. The Chargers sacked him three times, including a safety that put them ahead 12-3 by halftime.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert showcased his skills, completing 20 of 33 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown to rookie sensation Ladd McConkey. The duo connected for a significant 58-yard catch-and-run that set up another touchdown. Running back Kimani Vidal also made his mark, rushing for 95 yards on 25 carries, adding to the Chargers’ offensive dominance.
The game started with Chris Boswell kicking a 59-yard field goal for Pittsburgh, giving them an early lead. However, the Chargers quickly responded with a series of defensive stops and offensive plays that left the Steelers reeling. Mack’s sack on Rodgers in the end zone for a safety was a pivotal moment that shifted momentum firmly in the Chargers’ favor.
Despite the Steelers’ struggles, they managed only three first downs and a total of 85 yards in the first half. The Chargers’ defense has now allowed just one touchdown in their last ten quarters, highlighting their formidable presence on the field.
“We knew we had to put pressure on him, and it paid off,” said Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack, who noted his own achievement of 111.5 career sacks.
The second half saw Allen tie the franchise record with his 955th career touchdown catch before breaking it with a 12-yard reception late in the game. This achievement adds another accolade to a storied career for the veteran receiver.
As the Chargers look ahead, they will aim to build on this momentum against tougher opponents in the coming weeks. The Steelers, meanwhile, will need to regroup and address their offensive struggles if they hope to stay competitive in the league.
