The Chargers are back in primetime as they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10.
Kickoff is at 5:20 p.m. (PT) from SoFi Stadium.
The Chargers-Steelers betting line shows the Bolts are slight favorites for Sunday.
Here are five final thoughts ahead of Week 10.
1. Get ready for a slugfest
The Chargers have loved the bright lights of primetime so far this season, as the Bolts are 3-0 in night games in 2025.
That hot streak includes wins over the Chiefs and Raiders to start the season plus a Week 8 victory against the Vikings.
Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey said this week that primetime games bring out a certain energy level.
"Growing up, these are the games you want to play in," McConkey said. "It's the only game on and everyone is watching.
"Hopefully we can go out and put our best foot forward and come out with another [primetime] win," McConkey added.
But the Bolts also know this Week 10 game against Pittsburgh might be the most physical game on the entire schedule.
It was a little more than a year ago when the Chargers and Steelers met in Pittsburgh in Week 3. The score was tied at 10 entering the fourth quarter as neither team had more than 160 yards of offense at that point.
In a game where the first to 20 points likely meant a win in the slugfest, the Steelers pulled away in the fourth quarter.
Tuli Tuipulotu and the Chargers are expecting a similar contest this time around.
"Everybody knows that when you hear, "Steelers," that it's going to be physical," Tuipulotu said. "But we're looking forward to it. We came up short last year but we're looking to respond this year."
Aside from all of the above, Sunday's game is also pivotal for both AFC playoff hopefuls in terms of their postseason chances.
According to The Athletic, the Chargers playoff odds currently sit at a 76 percent chance to make the dance. A Bolts win would push those odds up to 84 percent while a loss would drop them to 63 percent.
It's also a swing game for the 5-3 Steelers, too, as The Athletic has Pittsburgh with 59 percent playoff odds. But those numbers move to 74 percent with a win and 48 percent with a loss.
Oh yeah, there's also the head-to-head tiebreaker the winning team gets that will be incredibly valuable for potential playoff seeding in January.
Simply put, this is a massive game for the Chargers. And the whole world will be watching.
"The biggest thing is just stacking wins," Tuipulotu said. "We know the [playoff] position we're in right now and we know that this is when you separate yourselves from other teams. We want to separate."
