The Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers continue to elbow for position in a crowded AFC playoff picture on "Sunday Night Football."
Despite leading the AFC North, the Steelers are in a somewhat precarious position. After returning Lamar Jackson from injury, the Baltimore Ravens are just a few games back of the division lead, meaning Pittsburgh would love to be able to put a little bit more distance between themselves and their divisional foe.
That starts with getting a little more consistency on both sides of the ball. The Steelers haven't been able to unlock their offense with Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf despite ranking among the best in TD passes this season. On defense, the unit, which is the highest paid in the NFL, has underperformed.
Finding that consistency may be a difficult ask against a tough Jim Harbaugh-coached squad. The Chargers got off to a promising start this season, but the top-heavy AFC West is providing something of an uphill climb for Justin Herbert and Co. The Denver Broncos sit atop the division and eked out another win on "Thursday Night Football."
That all makes for a crucial "Sunday Night Football" matchup in Week 10. USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights and more from the matchup below.
