Los Chargers vuelven a la acción en la Fecha 10.
Tras superar la mitad de la temporada regular y con ocho partidos por delante, el entrenador en jefe de los Chargers, Jim Harbaugh y todo el plantel de los Bolts están listos para afrontar la siguiente etapa.
"Siempre es bueno recordar que el destino está en nuestras manos," dijo Harbaugh. "Los chicos están entregados, muy motivados para este gran partido. Se nota en el ambiente, con mucha energía en el estadio."
Por supuesto, todos saben qué tipo de partido será esta semana.
Cuando los Pittsburgh Steelers te visitan, entiendes que será un encuentro físico.
"Todo el mundo sabe que cuando se oye 'Steelers', se va a dar un partido físico," dijo Tuli Tuipulotu. "Pero lo esperamos con ansias. Nos quedamos cortos el año pasado, pero queremos recuperarnos este año."
Ladd McConkey añadió: "Esperamos un partido físico."
Las noticias que llegaron esta semana desde El Segundo anunciaron otra lesión importante, esta vez la del tackle Joe Alt, quien se perderá el resto de la temporada por una lesión de tobillo.

Es un duro golpe para la ofensiva de los Chargers, lo que significa que ahora le tocará a los demás asumir su rol.
"Lo sentimos mucho. Obviamente es duro, y yo también he pasado por eso, cuando te trunca la temporada," dijo Justin Herbert. "Probablemente esté pasando por un momento muy difícil y todos estamos aquí para apoyarlo. Obviamente, es muy difícil reemplazar a un jugador así, por lo bueno que es y lo especial que creemos que es."
"Los que han dado un paso al frente lo han hecho de maravilla," añadió Herbert. "Creo que Pip, Jamaree y Dec, cuando han tenido que entrar al campo, han luchado y se han esforzado al máximo. Tenemos que encontrar la manera."
Harbaugh dijo a principios de semana que Trey Pipkins, Jamaree Salyer, Austin Deculus, Foster Sarell y el recién llegado Trevor Penning todos podrían jugar de tackles esta semana, y se definirá en los entrenamientos.
Será un aspecto clave a tener en cuenta esta semana contra una defensa de Pittsburgh que ha presionado mucho al quarterback.
Los Steelers consiguieron 5 capturas de mariscal hace apenas una semana contra los Colts, líderes de la AFC; dos de ellas a cargo de Alex Highsmith y una de T.J. Watt, además de tres balones sueltos forzados. En total, provocaron seis pérdidas de balón.
Mantener a Herbert protegido será clave esa noche, ya que la defensa de los Steelers es muy oportunista.
"Provocan pérdidas de balón con mucha frecuencia, capturan al mariscal de campo e intentan generar jugadas negativas," dijo el coordinador ofensivo de los Chargers, Greg Roman. "Creo que mejoraron un poco su juego la semana pasada contra los Colts."
"Estamos trabajando duro preparándonos para ese partido; todos están totalmente concentrados, analizando el video y comprendiendo el emocionante desafío que tenemos por delante," añadió Roman.

Por otro lado, la defensa del rayo también se está preparando para enfrentarse a una unidad veterana con el mariscal de campo más experimentado de la liga.
Aaron Rodgers ha tenido una temporada eficiente hasta el momento, con 1,692 yardas, 17 touchdowns y sólo 5 intercepciones, con un porcentaje de pases completos del 68.7%, su mejor marca personal desde 2021.
El jugador de 41 años se ha adaptado bien al estilo de juego de Pittsburgh en su temporada número 21 en la NFL.
"Obviamente, ha visto todo tipo de cobertura y todo tipo de blitz imaginable", dijo el coordinador defensivo de los Chargers, Jesse Minter. "Maneja muy bien su ofensiva. Tienen una combinación de la identidad de marca de los Steelers: juego terrestre, formaciones con jugadores grandes y algunas de las cosas que siempre ha hecho: abrir el campo, buscar ventajas en los emparejamientos, juego rápido, ese tipo de cosas.
Minter añadió después: "Me entusiasma la oportunidad de enfrentarme a él."
Con un récord de 6-3 y enfrentándose a los Steelers (5-3), los Chargers se preparan para otra batalla crucial con mucho en juego en la lucha por los playoffs de la AFC.
"Lo más importante es acumular victorias," dijo Tuipulotu. "Sabemos en qué posición [de playoffs] nos encontramos ahora y sabemos que es en estos momentos cuando nos diferenciamos de los demás equipos. Queremos diferenciarnos."
Herbert añadió: "Mientras dure la temporada, y con todas las adversidades que podamos enfrentar, la misión nunca termina."
