Coming off a huge win at home against a very good Jets team, the Raiders face their second AFC test in a row, this time in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. Like the Jets last week, the Steelers are a team that is in the hunt for one of two AFC Wild Card slots, especially as their division rival Bengals seem to have the division all but locked up with their 8-0 record.
The Raiders have a chance to put themselves in the drivers seat for the 5th seed in the AFC playoffs if they can get their third road win of the season in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
