Whatever its name at kickoff time in a given year, Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum was often unkind to the Pittsburgh Steelers when they played the Oakland Raiders. Indeed, they were 1-4 on the road against the Oakland Raiders after they moved back there in 1995, including four straight losses, the most recent in 2018—but more on that later.
While he won’t be out on the field, DL Cameron Heyward is just glad the Steelers don’t have to play on that field anymore—and he’s hoping the change of venue will also bring a change of fortune. “We don’t fare very well on the road, and hopefully we can change that”, he said on his Not Just Football podcast yesterday as the Steelers prepare to face the Raiders, now in Las Vegas.
