Following each game in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2024 season, I will highlight the event, or string of events, in the game that was the turning point. Not all turning points will be earth-shattering but are meant to give a unique look at how we arrived at the outcome of the game, one that may be hard to see during the live watch.
The Steelers’ Sunday’s blowout win against the Las Vegas Raiders was one of those games that was really difficult to watch until all of a sudden it wasn’t. The defense looked like it was going to get lit up by Aidan O’Connell on the opening drive, and the offense was once against shooting itself in the foot with penalties and negative plays.
