Looking Ahead
As beautiful as this win feels at the moment, it certainly did not help the Raiders draft position. With this win, they drop back to 3rd overall, and another win could put them in a very tricky situation.
Regardless, it has to feel good for the Oakland players and head coach Jon Gruden to get a win against a good football team. For the Steelers, they now find themselves in some serious trouble as their next two games are against the New England Patriots and the New Orleans Saints.
Next week Oakland heads back to the east coast to face a Cincinnati Bengals team that is in the midst of a free fall with a five-game losing streak.
