Steelers Stick to Familiar Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Steelers are relying on their old-school power ball of a strong running game, high-percentage passing game, and punishing defense. So far in 2024, it has resulted in winning three of their first five games and a tie for first place in the bruising AFC North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are keeping their games close and winning or losing low-scoring affairs. Their 20-17 loss to the Cowboys was borderline inexplicable at home, particularly since they forced three turnovers. They are keeping quarterback Justin Fields within specific constraints and utilizing their rushing attack led by Najee Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect a familiar strategy against Las Vegas since the Raiders are weak against the run and have a variety of troubles on offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raiders Change Their Starting Quarterback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce has named Aidan O’Connell as the starting quarterback against Pittsburgh. This is happening while receiver Davante Adams is out with a hamstring injury and wants to be traded; running back Zamir White is out with a groin injury; and defensive end Maxx Crosby is dealing with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O’Connell was the Raiders’ primary starting QB in 2023 and is replacing veteran Gardner Minshew as the starter vs Pittsburgh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
