Things haven’t started great for the 1-1 Las Vegas Raiders as they prepare for yet another AFC game, Sunday night at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers (kickoff is at 5:20 p.m. PT).
Yet, the truth is many of the top teams in the AFC have struggled to start the season. This conference was expected to be deep, but there has been some early indications that some of the teams expected to be strong might not be as good as expected and that can benefit the Raiders.
Just two of the nine 2-0 teams (the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens) reside in the AFC.
