Overview
- Head coach Mike Tomlin said Los Angeles used schematics to steer throws away from D.K. Metcalf and that other pass catchers did not make plays.
- Aaron Rodgers told reporters "other guys have got to get open and make plays" and also said he must be better after finishing 16-of-31 for 161 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
- D.K. Metcalf took blame for a missed early deep shot, saying he flattened his route on a potential touchdown that Rodgers had described as a miss.
- Calvin Austin III dropped a short crossing pass in the fourth quarter that deflected to cornerback Donte Jackson for an interception at the Chargers' 10-yard line.
- Tomlin cited 2-for-11 third-down conversion and losing the turnover battle as decisive in dropping Pittsburgh to 5-4 ahead of Week 11 against the Bengals.
