The Pittsburgh Steelers got a much-needed win Saturday night on Christmas Eve, keeping their slim playoff hopes alive by beating the Las Vegas Raiders 13-10. The offense was largely ineffective for most of the contest until they went on a ten-play drive late in the fourth quarter to take the lead. However, the defense came ready to play against Las Vegas, holding them to 201 total yards while shutting down the NFL’s leading rusher Josh Jacobs, holding him to under three yards per carry on the night.
The defense also did a great job of taking away WR Davante Adams who ranks near the top of the league in every receiving statistical category this season.
