Battle of the Bland.
That’s what the matchup between the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers and the host Las Vegas Raiders looks like on the surface. And for a primetime Sunday night showdown, that’s not exactly a ratings draw and marquee contest.
Nonetheless, the Steelers and Raiders remain popular franchises with loyal fanbases backing the brands. The football viewing world will get solid insight on both AFC teams on NBC.
Both teams enter the showcase at 1-1 and trying to navigate a course past its respective struggles. The Raiders were on the road the first two weeks of the season eking out a 17-16 win over the Denver Broncos before a 38-10 walloping at the hands of the Buffalo Bills this past Sunday.
