Overview
- Khalil Mack produced a first‑quarter safety and RJ Mickens’ interception set up a Justin Herbert‑to‑Ladd McConkey touchdown as Los Angeles turned early breaks into control of the game.
- Aaron Rodgers finished 16-of-31 for 161 yards with two interceptions and a safety, later saying he “didn’t play very good at all” and citing missed throws and poor third‑down execution.
- Pittsburgh mustered 221 yards, 11 first downs, and went 2-of-11 on third down, avoiding its first conversion until late in the fourth quarter on a 27‑yard touchdown to Roman Wilson.
- Herbert went 20-of-33 for 220 yards and a score, McConkey posted 107 yards and a touchdown with a 58‑yard catch, and Keenan Allen became the Chargers’ all‑time receptions leader.
- Los Angeles improved to 7-3 and visits Jacksonville next week, while Pittsburgh fell to 5-4 before hosting the Bengals as Mike Tomlin called the outing unacceptable and declined to assess Rodgers directly.
