Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Pittsburgh Steelers to worry about in Week 2

Cameron Heyward, Defensive Tackle

Against the Buffalo Bills this past weekend, Cameron Heyward was an absolute monster, getting an NFL-best 12 pressure in the win. To put that into consideration, the next highest player in the entire league finished with six pressures, so this is a man that needs to be accounted for in a big way in this matchup.

The Raiders have some serious issues up front along the offensive line, especially if Richie Incognito is ruled out for this one. Denzelle Good tore his ACL in Week 1, and as it stands, the interior of the offensive line will be Andre James, John Simpson, and Jermaine Eluemunor, good players, but it could be a rough go on Sunday.

This Pittsburgh defense is going to be tough to crack, and while Carr is a good passer under pressure, he is going to be under duress all game long. Hopefully the Raiders can get the run game going, keeping the defensive line of the Steelers honest, but you can expect at least a handful of pressures from Heyward against a young center in James.
