I’d like to say I’m shocked by the Steelers 24-21 loss to a Raiders team that entered Sunday’s contest at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum with a 2-10 record.
But I’m not.
I should be, of course. After all, I went on and on all last week about how Pittsburgh simply couldn’t allow history to repeat itself, that there was too much on the line to let the Raiders do it again, delivering another critical body punch to a season that already has suffered its share of knockdowns and standing eight counts.
Yet, here we are again.
