Two weeks ago after a frustrating loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers’ veteran safety DeShon Elliott stated that the Steelers needed to be more detailed in their approach to practices throughout the week. That raised eyebrows and generated quite a few talking points about the Mike Tomlin-led team.
Two weeks later, the Steelers rolled to a dominant 32-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on the road, winning the turnover battle with a mark of +3, running the ball consistently and even blocking a punt, which led to a field goal. For veteran cornerback Donte Jackson, it was the best week of preparation the Steelers have had this season, which played a key role in them taking care of business on the road in front of a pro-Steelers crowd.
