Indianapolis played a two tight end set and did not start their best tight end Tyler Warren a 2025 first round pick.

Pittsburgh had everyone at full health except for strong safety DeShon Elliott who suffered a season ending injury. Pittsburgh ran a 3-4 defense with three cornerbacks and one safety starting. The one safety that started was Kyle Dugger at strong safety. Pittsburgh also started Malik Harrison as the second 3-4 middle linebacker next to Patrick Queen. Pittsburgh's biggest adjustment entering week 9 was to play Cameron Heyward, Keeanu Benton, Derrick Harmon, Alex Highsmith, Patrick Queen, T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, Joey Porter Jr., and Kyle Dugger on every down. Pittsburgh would rotate Malik Harrison with Payton Wilson who won the starting 3-4 middle linebacker job over Harrison, also subbed out Harrison for Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Juan Thornhill whenever Pittsburgh wanted to deploy two safeties. I was curious to see how this variety would work out after Pittsburgh lost two primetime games in a row.

Game Recap: TENNESSEE-Los Angeles got Cam Hart back in the starting lineup. Los Angeles still has some injuries with Mekhi Becton at right guard and Tarheeb Still at nickel cornerback injured which forced free safety Elijah Molden to move to nickel cornerback which meant RJ Mickens the backup safety got his first career NFl start. Tennessee's offense is fully healthy outside of Calvin Ridley being on injured reserve. Tennessee traded two of their week 1 cornerbacks in Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Roger McCreary to two different teams. L'Jarius Sneed is still on injured reserve for three more games.

Cam Ward threw an incomplete pass. Tennessee didn't do squat on their opening drive.

Justin Herbert threw a five yard pass to Quentin Johnston. Justin Herbert began this game 1/1 with 5 passing yards, 0 passing touchdowns, and 0 interceptions or incompletions.

Tennessee Titans left guard Peter Skoronski killed momentum on this drive with a dumb holding penalty. Tennessee Titans kicker Joey Slye made a 49 yard field goal. This game was tied at 17-17.

Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Joe Alt got injured for the second time this season after Rashawn Slater suffered a season ending injury. Joe Alt got injured earlier in week 4 and did not return until week 8 with the Los Angeles Chargers going 1-3 without Rashawn Slater or Joe Alt. Now both of Justin Herbert's first round offensive tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt will not be back until next season. Justin Herbert could get his first playoff win, but he will not get to the AFC Championship this year with the abundance of injuries the Chargers have at offensive tackle unless the Chargers end up being the top overall seed in the AFC. Cameron Dicker made a 52 yard field goal. Both teams went 0/3 on third down converisons. Los Angeles led 20-17 at halftime.

Justin Herbert rebounded depsite losing Joe Alt to a season ending injury.

Cam Ward, the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft was gift wrapped the best start the Tennessee Titans could provide Ward with a defensive and special teams touchdown as Ward failed to build on that with his rookie blunders costing Tennessee a golden opportunity to steal this game. Tennessee has one untouchable in Jeffrey Simmons at 3-4 right end and Cam Ward can develop into an untouchable in due time, possibly by 2027 at the earliest when Tennessee's new stadium opens.

Justin Herbert has to rally the Los Angeles Chargers moving forward with neither of the Los Angeles Chargers two first round left tackles, the starting right guard, or backup right guard on this roster. The Los Angeles Chargers probably have the most volatile floor and ceiling of any AFC team. Their floor is 10-7 if they lose to Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Kansas City in Arrowhead, and Denver in week 18 missing the playoffs currently sitting with a 6-3 record going 1-3 in gamews without Slater or Alt. Their ceiling is 13-4 if their only loss is to Kansas City in Arrowhead despite the injuries at offensive tackle, which would probably get the Los Angeles Chargers the 1 or 2 seed in the AFC, which could get the Los Angeles Chargers one playoff win. Justin Herbert's playoff drought could continue if the Los Angeles Chargers fail to win the AFC West this season due to the injuries at offensive tackle for the Los Angeles Chargers.
