This week’s Sunday Night Football matchup brings the Pittsburgh Steelers to Los Angeles to face the Chargers, with kickoff set for 820 pm Eastern exclusively on NBC and streaming live on Peacock according to Fox Sports and NBC Sports. Fans can tune in via cable on NBC or use the NBC Sports app and Peacock for streaming. Ticket demand remains high for SoFi Stadium, with secondary market prices reflecting the buzz.
The Steelers enter Sunday riding a wave of momentum following a tight home win last week, while Los Angeles is looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss, raising the stakes and intensifying the playoff implications for both AFC teams. Pittsburgh’s defense has been drawing rave reviews, especially after T J Watt’s monster performance last week firmly reestablished his Defensive Player of the Year candidacy. All eyes will be on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who faces questions after an inconsistent performance and now meets a ferocious Steelers pass rush.
ESPN reports that the betting line has settled with the Chargers as a slight home favorite but there’s considerable movement due to uncertainty about key injuries. The big headline over the last 24 hours is the Steelers listing star running back Najee Harris as questionable with a hamstring tweak suffered early in practice Friday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport notes Harris will be a game time decision, which has big fantasy and betting significance. Los Angeles, meanwhile, is sweating over the status of all-pro left tackle Rashawn Slater who remains day to day with an ankle issue.
CBS Sports highlights that the biggest player to watch could be Steelers rookie wideout Jaden Bradley, fresh off his breakout two touchdown outing. Pundits from The Athletic are debating whether Bradley’s speed could overwhelm a banged up Chargers secondary that just allowed over 300 yards passing last week. Chargers fans are pinning their hopes on running back Austin Ekeler, who’s finally off the injury report and expected to be full go for the first time this season according to the team’s Friday media availability.
Some of the week’s juiciest commentary comes from NBC’s studio crew, with Rodney Harrison calling this a “prove it or lose it” game for Herbert, arguing the Chargers’ season could spiral if they drop back to .500. Vegas oddsmakers at Caesars have the point spread bouncing between Chargers minus 2.5 and 3, with the over under locked at 47.5 and action trending heavily towards the over.
To recap, Steelers at Chargers on NBC and Peacock for your Sunday night football fix. Keep an eye out for late breaking injury news on Harris and Slater. Will Justin Herbert seize the moment on primetime or will T J Watt and the Steelers D spoil the party Fans and experts are split and that only adds to the intrigue.
