Snap count: Injuries force Raiders to tap into depth vs Steelers

PITTSBURGH –- Raiders quarterback Derek Carr new early in the practice week that Sunday’s game at the Pittsburgh Steelers would be a street brawl.

Things get physical when you play the Steelers, who have a long-standing tradition of laying big hits.

“I knew we were getting in to when I turned on the Steelers film last week,” Carr said after a 38-35 slugfest that went Pittsburgh’s way. “When you play the Pittsburgh Steelers, you’re in for a physical football game.”

Both sides lost key pieces to big hits. Some guys gutted it out with bangs and bruises.
