Another tick in the W column…
The Pittsburgh Steelers managed their fourth win of the season on Sunday, improving to a 4-2 record with a road win over the Raiders in Las Vegas this week. It was a challenging start to the game in all phases, but thanks to a number of splash plays on defense, they managed a convincing win. Week 6 marked the second-highest-scoring game the Steelers had managed in the post-Ben Roethlisberger era.
The defense shined despite giving up some yardage, forcing three total turnovers, including two forced fumbles from T.J. Watt and an interception from Donte Jackson.
Once again, the passing game wasn’t the crux of the win, as Justin Fields totaled just 110 and 4.1 yards per attempt. Where the team shined on offense was on the ground, as Najee Harris managed a 106-yard rushing game, including his first rushing touchdown of the season. Fields added 59 rushing yards and another two scores on the ground.
