The 5-3 Steelers head to Los Angeles to take on the 6-2 Chargers. On paper, the Chargers should win this game thanks to their number two-ranked offense in terms of total yards and their top 10 defense in total yards. The Steelers weakness on offense has been their rush attack, ranking 30th in the league, which also favors the Chargers whose biggest weakness on defense has been stopping the run, as they rank in the middle of the pack across the league. Last week, the Steelers defense stepped up in a big way, forcing Daniel Jones and the Colts into turnovers, and their only chance to beat the Chargers tonight is to do the very same thing. Doing it on the road will be more of a challenge, though, and that is why the Chargers will win this game 30-23.
