Pittsburgh Steelers at Oakland Raiders: 5 takeaways from Week 14
With the third overall pick…
Believe it or not it is possible for repercussions to come with victories, at least for these Raiders in this 2018 season. The victory over the Steelers rightfully gave the team and its fans a victory high, but the effects will likely be felt come April as well.

As mentioned previously though Oakland has been playing inspired of late, they still need to make strides and most importantly, need to acquire talent.
