The Steelers came out of the gate this season using stout defense to control the game. However, after giving up just 26 points over the first three games of the season, the team has allowed 47 over the past two games. Their offense played better against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4, scoring 24 points, but they still lost. Then, on Sunday Night Football last week, at home, Pittsburgh struggled to get anything going offensively, leading to a 20-17 loss. It brought back the question of whether Mike Tomlin should bench Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson.
The Raiders have certainly been up and down this season. Though they picked up wins over the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns, they have looked inferior in their defeats, especially in their Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Last Sunday, in a divisional battle with the Denver Broncos, Gardner Minshew and the Raiders offense turned the ball over three times, losing to a 34-18. The only saving grace with Las Vegas coming into this game is that they have yet to lose consecutive contests this season.
In 32 all-time meetings, the Raiders are 17-15 against the Steelers, despite Pittsburgh beat Las Vegas in each of the last two seasons.
MY PICK: Steelers win, 23-20

TORONTO (AP) — Mitch Marner had a goal and an assist, and Toronto beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 on Saturday in the Maple Leafs’ home opener.
William Nylander had two goals for Toronto, including an empty-netter. Matthew Knies also scored, Max Domi had two assists and Anthony Stolarz made 21 saves.
It was the home debut for Toronto coach Craig Berube, who was hired in May. The Maple Leafs split their first two games of the season on the road.
Kris Letang and Rickard Rakell scored for Pittsburgh. Joel Blomqvist stopped 29 shots in his second NHL start after picking up his first victory Thursday in Detroit. Evgeni Malkin had two assists to give him 1,300 points for his career.
Leafs center John Tavares missed the game with an illness.
Toronto, which dropped to 0 for 9 this season on the power play, improved to 9-0-0 in its last nine home openers.
TAKEAWAYS
Maple Leafs: Finally got some production from one of their stars when Nylander tied it at 1 in the second period. Nylander, Auston Matthews and Marner were all held off the scoresheet through the first two games of the season.
Penguins: They were unable to connect on three power-play chances after Letang scored in the first.
KEY MOMENT
Pittsburgh led 1-0 early in the first, but a terrible line change and turnover early in the second created a 2-on-0 rush. Domi fed Nylander for his first goal of the season.
KEY STAT
Sidney Crosby assisted on Letang’s opener to become the 10th player in NHL history to register a combined 1,800 regular-season and playoffs points.
UP NEXT
The Leafs continue a four-game homestand Wednesday against the Los Angeles Kings. The Penguins finish a three-game trip Monday against the Montreal Canadiens.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson will play against the Las Vegas Raiders, marking his NFL debut. The debut comes at a time when the Steelers are experiencing injuries around their team, and without a spot to elevate a wide receiver such as Brandon Johnson from the practice squad, the Steelers will turn to Wilson.
Wilson suffered a high ankle sprain in training camp that kept him out for seven weeks. He has now had 11 straight full practices in a row, and the Steelers finally feel he is ready to play. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said this week that Wilson’s debut was coming sooner rather than later, and he just needed to get his conditioning up as well as get everything in the playbook down.
“I just think he keeps working. You’re talking about a lot of time missed for a young player. He’s working very hard, I would imagine it happens sooner or later, but it’s not you’ve got to meet this certain metric. A lot of it is getting back into game shape. You talk about a young player — we have such a long way to go too. He’s doing really well, making progress every day. I imagine it will probably happen sooner rather than later,” Smith said about Wilson.
It is unclear how many snaps Wilson will play, but it is unlikely to be a huge role as they slowly work him back into the rotation full-time. When the Steelers elevated Brandon Johnson to be their WR5 a week ago, he got around ten snaps, and Wilson could end up playing around the same amount of snaps overall in his debut.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Saturday begins with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies and considerably milder temperatures compared to Friday morning thanks to a light southwest breeze across the region.
Clouds will increase through the mid-morning to midday hours as a weak cold front moves in from the north and ultimately stalls out across our viewing area.

This will lead to a slight range in temperatures with our northern counties only reaching the mid to upper 60s, while locations from Pittsburgh and points south will be closer to 70 degrees and even lower 70s across Northern West Virginia. As moisture levels aloft in the atmosphere begin to increase, an isolated shower cannot be ruled out for portions of eastern Ohio and far northwest PA by late afternoon, although coverage will be isolated at best.
Skies will become mostly cloudy with areas of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms after midnight Saturday into Sunday morning, especially from Pittsburgh and points north along a warm front.
Winds will be breezy out of the southwest most of the day Sunday ahead of the cold front and gradually strengthening area of low pressure which means most locations will likely top out in the mid-70s. The cold front will arrive around sunset Sunday with additional scattered showers and storms.
At the moment, the severe weather potential remains very low as models point to a lack of moisture and instability, but a couple of storms, especially toward the Laurel Highlands may contain sub-severe hail and strong winds by Sunday afternoon and evening. There will be a break in precipitation for most of Sunday night as a dry slot moves in behind the cold front.
High temperatures on Monday will likely occur at midnight following the frontal passage with a colder and blustery day. There is an increasing potential for high winds through the morning to early afternoon hours of Monday as the low pressure to our northeast rapidly intensifies and strong jet stream energy from aloft mixes down to the surface. Models currently indicate gusts of 30-40mph, but higher gusts of 50mph can’t be ruled out in the Laurel Highlands and the Ridges.
The area of low pressure will likely stall to our northeast until Wednesday night this week. Cold air aloft moving over the Great Lakes will lead to several mostly cloudy days with lake effect showers. We cannot rule out some wet snowflakes or some graupel, especially during the evening hours of Monday and Tuesday for parts of Northwest PA, but significant accumulation is not expected due to relatively warm ground temperatures. A gradual warming trend is expected to ensue by the end of next week.
