I’m probably going to need to preface this piece for the purpose of hopefully staving off some of the inevitable comments. In no way is the intention of this article to excuse the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to a generally pathetic Oakland Raiders team, but that still doesn’t mean that their playing surface is not terrible.
The Steelers did not lose to the Raiders Sunday because their field sucked, but their field still should not suck. No game in a league that makes billions of dollars every year should be played on such a sucky surface.
