Week 8 The Historical AFC War: RAIDERS vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Q-by-Q Reaction


4th Quarter:

Score: PIT 18 OAK 21

Finish the game, finish the game, finish the game, finish the game, finish the game, finish the game. Damn it's like I'm in detention writing that phrase over and over again. We finally got a win after the bye week, but this game clearly shows that we can't close a game out the right way. Stay tuned for the full recap.

3rd Quarter:

Score: PIT 3 OAK 21

Not too much action here in the third, considering the Steelers offense took a chunk of the whole quarter off. However, I like how our defense is hanging in there, just like DA's philosophy, bend but don't break. The defense is doing exactly that as well as special teams forcing Suisham to miss twice now, this time on a 32 yard field goal.

2nd Quarter:

Score: PIT 3 OAK 21

The Raiders performing a blitzkrieg on the Steelers. Dumb mistakes by Jacoby Ford and Brice Butler, but lucky we get a break with a TD by McFadden and a missed field goal by Suisham. Onto the halftime report.

1st Quarter:

Score: PIT 0 OAK 14

Terrelle Pryor, first play of the game scores on a 93 yard TD run, setting the NFL record for a QB rushing TD. What a way to start out. Faked out the whole Steelers defense as they were zeroing in on McFadden and forgot about Pryor's speed and athleticism. Overall, good start aside from the Pryor INT to Troy Polamalu almost at the end of the first quarter. We just gotta keep this tempo up because the Steelers have been playing better football the last two games and we gotta keep the foot on the gas. Other than that, great, explosive start to the game for the Raiders.
