Coming into the Week Three matchup on Sunday Night Football against his former team in the Pittsburgh Steelers, new Las Vegas Raiders inside linebacker Robert Spillane was looking forward to the opportunity to give the Steelers a taste of their own medicine when it came to AFC North-style football.
It sounded good coming from Spillane, who was quite the developmental story for the Steelers before signing with the Raiders in free agency.
It didn’t turn out great through for the veteran linebacker and captain of the Raiders. Pittsburgh’s offense had its best game of the year and one of the better games of the Matt Canada tenure, racking up 333 yards of total offense and 23 points, hitting an explosive 72-yard touchdown pass in the process before holding on late for a 23-18 win.
