Steelers beat the Raiders by 18-23
In the Steelers vs Raiders absolute match 2023, The Steelers’ players found their groove and pulled off a fantastic 23-18 victory against Las Vegas on a Sunday night. It was an awesome comeback for them.
When the social challenge was raised from Mike Tomlin, the Steeler’s offense showed up in full force, making their impressive performance of the season against a Raiders defense. The night proved particularly incredible for Kenny Pickett, who covered a good portion of the match to silence his doubters by throwing multiple touchdowns. This performance not only represents his talent but also played a crucial role in moving Pittsburgh to prominent starts of 2-1
The Steeler’s defense was on fire again. Just a week after scoring those epic touchdowns against Cleveland, they were at it again, snagging three interceptions from Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo started the game with a 32-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams, but our defense wasn’t having any of that. T.J. Watt was an absolute beast with two sacks, and the cornerbacks, Levi Wallace and Patrick Peterson made some incredible plays with those crucial interceptions.
Pittsburgh’s successful evening also included clutch kicking by Chris Boswell, who drilled field goals of 44, 54, and 52 yards.Â
Pittsburgh was like a well-oiled machine, playing fantastic complementary football. Now, on the flip side, Las Vegas seemed to struggle in syncing everything up. They had their moment of glory though—the highlight was Adams, who lit up the night with that second touchdown, producing the dose of excitement late in the fourth quarter. It got everyone on the edge of their seats. But alas, Luck didn’t stay too long with the Raiders, as their comeback hopes started to dim when Wallace swooped in for that critical interception off Garoppolo with just 12 seconds left.

They brought their A-game in all three parts of the match. At first, things were a bit slow for the offense, It was like watching magic happen when Pickett, our star quarterback, really shone with his first multi-touchdown pass game in the NFL. High-fives were the all-around and Our running game was unstoppable, charging past the 100-yard mark for the first time this year. The excitement was through the roof. It’s these moments that make us proud to be Steelers fans, witnessing the team’s hard work pay off and seeing that winning spirit come to life.
Pickens came through, snagging some epic catches that were total game-changers for the Steelers. It set the stage for Boswell’s third field goal, boosting Pittsburgh’s lead to a solid 16-7, and it wasn’t even six minutes into the second half yet. Then, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Pickens pulled off a magical 17-yard reception in the very next drive. It paved the way for Pickett to connect with Pat Freiermuth for that sweet touchdown.
In Pittsburgh’s recent game, our star players and supporting crew shined! One fantastic moment was thanks to our rookie defensive lineman, Keanu Benson. Picture this: it’s the fourth quarter, and Benson comes in clutch with a sack, stopping Garoppolo from connecting to the wide-open Jakobi Meyers, who was sprinting down the field, all set for a touchdown!

Along with Boswell, Pittsburgh’s teams also received a special clutch moment from punter Pressley Harvin III, who aided in sealing the win with his 56-yard punt in the game’s final seconds.Â

Raiders Performance
The Raiders better their game from last Sunday’s tough match held with Buffalo, where things didn’t go so well. Josh Jacobs showed improvement, rushing for 69 yards on 17 carries this time compared to just 46 in the first two games. However, we still need to work on strengthening that running game to give Garoppolo and the passing squad the support they need. It’s progress, but there’s room to grow and fine-tune our fundamentals to secure those wins.
