Pittsburgh Review

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a decisive victory against the Las Vegas Raiders with a 32-13 win, breaking their two-game losing streak. The game, held at Allegiant Stadium, had a home-like atmosphere due to the significant turnout of Steelers fans.

Coach Mike Tomlin expressed gratitude for the fan support: "The first thing that needs to be said is I'm just really taken aback by the support that we got here from our fans, Steelers Nation."

The Raiders initially took the lead with a touchdown run by Alexander Mattison. However, the Steelers' defense quickly regained control, forcing three turnovers. T.J. Watt was instrumental in this defensive effort, contributing two forced fumbles and five solo tackles.

Tomlin praised Watt's performance: "Can't say enough about T.J. that hadn't already been said in terms of his ability to impact the game in a variety of ways."

Running back Najee Harris also played a crucial role with 106 rushing yards and a 36-yard touchdown run, marking his first 100-yard game of the season. Tomlin emphasized the collective effort in achieving this result: "I just thought it was a collective effort... When I look at it, I just thought the collective energy and effort that was necessary."

The victory improved Pittsburgh's record to 4-2 as they prepare for their next match against the New York Jets. Tomlin stated: "Winning is our business. Football is our game. Winning is our business."

On the injury front, center Zach Frazier left with an ankle injury while Minkah Fitzpatrick and Donte Jackson returned after minor injuries.

With outside linebackers Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig injured, Watt faced increased attention from the Raiders' offense but remained effective: "I can definitely feel the slides and more chips... So I'm going to have to try to find ways to continue to affect the game as much as possible."

Jeremiah Moon and Ade Ogundeji stepped up in place of Highsmith and Herbig, with Moon blocking a punt during his extensive playtime.

Quarterback Justin Fields contributed significantly on ground plays despite not scoring through passing; he rushed for 59 yards and scored two touchdowns.

Fields acknowledged Harris's impact on their offensive strategy: "Najee did a great job... I think my second rushing touchdown, Najee scored on the toss so they were probably thinking we were going to do the same thing."

Watt highlighted how an effective running game benefits both offense and defense: "It's huge anytime you are able to run the ball in the National Football League... But it also allows us to get a little bit more wind on the sideline."
