The Steelers lost for the second straight week. Somehow, they’re opening as favorites yet again as well. Despite falling 20-17 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, Pittsburgh enters Week 6 as a three-point road favorite against the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 13 (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS).
Against the Cowboys, Pittsburgh suffered yet another slow start on offense, with the run game struggling to get going and the Justin Fields-George Pickens connection sputtering. Pittsburgh’s talented defense played well below expectations, surrendering the lead late following a 70-yard fourth-quarter drive from Dallas.
