After a big upset win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9, the 5-3 Pittsburgh Steelers are out to prove that they are contenders. But sometimes, you need to have a bit of luck on your side.

The Steelers have been fortunate that the Cincinnati Bengals have been without star quarterback Joe Burrow since early in the season, and that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson missed multiple games in the first half of the season with a hamstring injury. Now, Pittsburgh caught another break at the expense of the Los Angeles Chargers.

In Week 9, Chargers' star left tackle Joe Alt was carted off the field.
