    Las Vegas Raiders live game thread vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

    Vaseline Posted on

    LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Las Vegas Raiders are looking to bounce back from their disastrous 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos last week. This Week 6 matchup will take place within the safe confines of Allegiant Stadium, but the opponent is a stout 3-2 Pittsburgh Steelers team.

    Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Las Vegas Raiders win that important statistical battle. For those who don’t remember: it has to do with pockets and turnover. If the Raiders have three sacks and give up two, they are plus one. They are plus three if they make four turnovers and only give up one. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to achieve a plus-five ratio every game. On average, teams that pass the five-scenario rule win 91 percent of their NFL games.

    The Raiders get a new signal caller this week: Aidan O’Connell. Gardner Minshew won the starting job during the preseason, but after leading the team to a 2-3 record, including two unacceptable losses, the Raiders will explore their chances with O’Connell.

    Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters this week that it was his decision, what he believed was best for the offense moving forward.

    The Raiders are looking to rebound after a demoralizing loss to the Broncos last week. This week, Pierce discussed the importance of a tough culture and the ability to bounce back from mistakes. The example given was the deflating pick-6 that gave the Broncos a big momentum shift.

    “It’s a lesson to be taught, and it’s something we’re trying to do on the sidelines while that was happening,” Pierce said. “You could feel it. It was real. I’m not going to hide from it, right? We could kind of feel the vibe of our team and say, ‘Guys, it’s one game.’ And if we really look at that game, probably two series later we had the ball on the 50-yard line and we had a great opportunity to make a play. We didn’t punt, but we held them back. And there’s so many plays in the game where you can change the momentum and get it back on our side, and we haven’t done that, and we have to find a way. And it’s not one person, it’s not one unit a team that does that collectively.”

    Fresh off a heartbreaking last-second loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week, the Steelers are, as always, expertly coached by Mike Tomlin and are formidable on both sides of the ball.
