There is a rich history of hatred between the two, dating back to the dynasty of the s, but I chose to go more recent with this selection. The funny thing about this series between two storied franchises, is the Raiders have owned the Steelers in the past decade. In fact, the Raiders have beaten the Steelers 4 of their last 5 meetings. The lone victory for Pittsburgh? A drubbing at Heinz Field. Some fans might remember the situation the team saw themselves in when the Raiders came to town.
Roethlisberger had a season-low 25 pass attempts in Sunday's Week 5 matchup as the Steelers relied more on their rushing attack, but the year-old still recorded multiple touchdowns for the first time in He dealt with pectoral and hip injuries following last week's contest and appeared to hurt his hand in the second half against the Broncos, but he was still able to play every snap.
Roethlisberger will have a more favorable matchup against the Seahawks in Week 6. Roethlisberger sat out Wednesday's practice on account of the two injuries, but the quarterback suggested that he wasn't at any risk of missing Sunday's game against the Broncos. His return to full activity a day later confirms as much, but that doesn't necessarily mean fantasy managers can deploy him with much confidence in a matchup with a tough defense.
Though Roethlisberger still has a quality stable of pass-catching weapons at his disposal, poor offensive line play coupled with his decline as a downfield thrower in his age campaign have rendered him one of the NFL's least effective starting quarterbacks this season.
He's averaging only 6. The veteran quarterback picked up a hip injury on top of his lingering pectoral injury during the Steelers ' Week 4 loss to the Packers. He may continue to have limited practice reps followed by full workloads on Sundays, for however long he's able to maintain that in a Pittsburgh offense with shaky line play. Already this season, Roethlisberger has tended to a left pectoral injury, which kept him out of some practices the past two weeks.
Still, he was able to overcome it and suit up Weeks 3 and 4. Roethlisberger completed 26 of 40 passes for yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Packers.
Roethlisberger dealt with a pectoral injury early in the week, but his passing volume remained high in Sunday's Week 4 matchup. He's now logged at least 40 pass attempts in each of the last three games. However, the year-old averaged just 5. Through the first four games of the season, Roethlisberger has passed for 1, yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions. He faces a tough matchup at home against the Broncos in Week 5.
Roethlisberger pectoral was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers ' official site reports. Roethlisberger was withheld from Wednesday's practice due to the pectoral injury that first cropped up following a Week 2 loss to the Raiders, but his return to full activity a day later suggests that he may just have been receiving a maintenance day to begin Week 4 prep. Even though Roethlisberger is on track to play Sunday in Green Bay, his early season form hasn't inspired much confidence.
Through three games, Roethlisberger has as many touchdowns three as interceptions, and his 6.
