Jon Gruden was marching up and down the sideline of Heinz Field on Sunday afternoon, full Chucky-face beaming out a level of satisfaction and bravado that has been rare during his second stint coaching the Raiders.
He was looking for people to shout with, to back pat, to celebrate a 26-17 victory over Pittsburgh and a 2-0 start for a team that many figured would be 0-2 right now.
He finally settled in with his quarterback, Derek Carr, and the two linked arms and shared a moment three-plus seasons in the making.
