When it was one minute and fifty-six seconds before the end of the game, the Pittsburgh Steelers were still 24-20 ahead of the Oakland Raiders, but when it came to nine seconds before the end, Louis Murphy caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Bruce Gradkowksi, sealing the game with Raiders 27-24 win over the Steelers together with Raiders’ three late touchdowns.
The Steelers are now 6-6 after losing four consecutive games and are in danger of missing the playoffs. They have lost games to a team we did not expect they could be defeated by for twice, first time by the Kansas City Chiefs, then the Raiders, and have fallen three games behind the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC North.
And Ben Roethlisberger, wearing back his Steelers jersey after sitting out a game with a concussion, completed 18 of 24 for 278 yards, two TDs and an interception thrown into the end zone late in the first half. What we can expect for next games? None of the Browns, the Packers, the Ravens and the Dolphins is a hard-to-win team, but after being beaten by of the NFL’s worst teams in the last three weeks, the Steelers are not very convincing in keeping unbeaten while playing against each of the four teams.
