When you think of the best rivalries throughout NFL history, the Oakland Raiders versus the Pittsburgh Steelers has to be mentioned. Their back and forths during the ’70s helped define one of the best periods the league has ever had.
Things may not be what they once were between these two, but the nostalgia will never die. However, the rivalry was always defined by playoff matchups and this week’s game is anything but. The Raiders are one of the worst team in the league, and the Steelers are trying to secure a playoff spot.
So you would think the stakes aren’t that high, but Oakland has a great chance to play spoiler on Sunday.
