If you didn’t know the zip code, you would’ve guessed the Pittsburgh Steelers were playing in Acrisure Stadium’s friendly confines on Sunday. But they made the trip to Las Vegas, and per usual, Steeler Nation took over Allegiant Stadium. Terrible Towels waving, “defense” chanting, and a lot of happy faces when the clock hit zeroes that are uncommon when the home team loses by 19.
After the game, multiple Steelers players said the home-crowd feel inside the stadium played a serious role in the win.
“I’m looking at the Raiders’ offense, they’re going on silent cadence,” QB Justin Fields said via the team’s website.
