The pivotal moment in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the Las Vegas Raiders came around midway in the third quarter. Pittsburgh, the home team, had just gotten the score differential down to two points, thanks to a nifty catch and run from running back Najee Harris, but the defense allowed Las Vegas back into the control position, seizing all of the momentum with a deflating 61-yard dagger score from quarterback Derek Carr to wide receiver Henry Ruggs III.
We’ll have a breakdown of that play for you later today, but let’s hear from some Steelers first, both past and present.
