The Chargers are back in primetime and it'll be Aaron Rodgers on the opposing sideline.
The Bolts will face the Steelers on Sunday Night Football in Week 10 at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:20 p.m. (PT).
Here are three players to watch on Sunday:
1. OLB Tuli Tuipulotu
It's been a big season for Tuipulotu so far.
The third-year player has stepped up big time and been a force, notching another sack in Tennessee and bringing his season total to a team-leading 7.0, good for sixth-most in the league entering Week 10.
He's been putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks all throughout as well, as his 45 pressures ranking third in the NFL among all edge rushers. Tuipulotu also ranks 17th among all edge rushers in the league in ESPN's pass rush win rate with a 17 percent.
Coming off of a game where the Steelers allowed three sacks and four quarterback hits, he will be key to slowing down Rodgers and the Pittsburgh offense.
Rodgers has been getting the ball out quick, averaging an average depth of target of 6.2 yards, which is the lowest this year among quarterbacks with at least 100 dropbacks, and a time to throw of 2.57 seconds, which is the second-lowest mark across the league.
But on dropbacks when he has been sacked, Rodgers has been holding onto the ball over a second longer with an average time to throw of 3.61.
It will take complimentary football from the front and backend of the Chargers defense, but Tuipulotu and the unit knows the challenges he brings.
"I know everyone jokes around about his age, but man, it's not a joke how he can still make the throws that he's making," Tuipulotu said about Rodgers. "Just respect for him. It's kind of crazy this is my first time playing him because I grew up watching him. It'll be fun."

2. WR Quentin Johnston
Johnston made a familiar return to the end zone last week.
With the Chargers facing a four-point deficit, Justin Herbert found the third-year receiver in the corner of the end zone with a perfect strike, which he hauled in for a lead they would never relinquish.
Johnston has been a mainstay in the end zone as he caught his sixth receiving touchdown of the season, which now ties him for most in the AFC heading into the week.
He's been a big play machine as well as he has seven receiving touchdowns on deep (20-plus air yards) targets since 2024, tied for the most in the NFL in that span.
His jump as a deep threat receiver has taken another leap in 2025 as he is tied for the fourth-most receptions of over 20 yards among receivers according to PFF.
Johnston and the receiving core will be an interesting part of the game to keep in mind heading into a matchup against a Pittsburgh defense that comes into Sunday night having allowed a player go over 100 receiving yards in each of their last three games.

3. G/T Trey Pipkins III
The veteran tackle steps into the spotlight now after the injuries on the offensive line continued.
Both starting tackles, Joe Alt and Bobby Hart, left Week 9 with injuries, leaving Pipkins to slot back in at right tackle and finish the game at that spot.
Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said Pipkins will surely be in the mix moving forward, at either tackle spot, as will a number of other offensive linemen.
"We'll make those determinations as the week goes," Harbaugh said on Wednesday.
He will be key to watch with T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and the rest of the Steelers defensive trenches coming to SoFi Stadium this week.
The Steelers notched 5.0 sacks just a week ago against the AFC leading Colts, two from Highsmith and one from Watt, as well as three forced fumbles.
"They turn the ball over really well, they sack the quarterback, they try to create negative plays," Chargers Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman said. "I really think they caught their stride a little bit last week against the Colts.
"We're hard at work getting ready for that, everybody's fully engaged, looking at the tape and understanding the exciting challenge in front of us," Roman added.
While it remains to be seen how Pipkins factors into this matchup, it will be a big game for the offensive line against a Pittsburgh front that knows how to affect a game.
