Los Angeles and Cincinnati were initially set for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
Entering Week 10, the Chargers are 5-3 with Justin Herbert gradually picking up form in the first year of Jim Harbaugh's tenure as head coach. They are currently second in the AFC West, trailing the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs, following the Denver Broncos' blowout loss at the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bengals are 4-5 after a slow start to the season, placing third in the AFC North. A 1-4 home record has been one of their primary issues.
Indianapolis is 4-5 in a weaker AFC South with 39-year-old Joe Flacco replacing 2023 No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson under center, while the Jets are 3-6, second in the AFC East, in Aaron Rodgers' first full season with the team after last year's Achilles tear early in Week 1.
