Steelers-Raiders first-half: Offensive penalties and strong defense


Steelers-Raiders first-half: Offensive penalties and strong defense

The Pittsburgh Steelers hold a 12-7 lead heading into half-time in their Week 6 contest versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Producing a first-half that was highlighted by multiple holding calls on the Steelers' offensive line, and a strong defensive effort, Pittsburgh will look to analyze whatcspecific gameplan adjustments need to be made heading into the second-half.

The offensive line struggled to contain Raiders' star pass rusher Maxx Crosby, and forced officials to throw multiple flags for holding -- ruining drives for the team.

The Steelers produced 152-yards of offense, averaging 4.5 yards a play. The Pittsburgh defense, although giving up a touchdown early, held the Raiders to a measly 119 yards of total offense.

If Pittsburgh is able to keep their momentum going and pull off the win today, the Steelers will be able to keep pace with the Baltmore Ravens in their race for the AFC North divisional title.

Pittsburgh received the ball to start the contest, and will subsequently kick off to the Las Vegas Raiders to begin this second-half of football.
