On the Raiders first play of the game, QB Terrelle Pryor faked a handoff to RB Darren McFadden, and then ran 93 yards for a touchdown to give Oakland an early 7-0 lead.

Five plays later, McFadden scored on a seven-yard run to give the Raiders a 14-0 lead.
Late in the first quarter, S Troy Polamalu picked off Pryor and returned it to the Raiders' 48-yard line. K Shaun Suisham capped off the ensuing drive with a 47-yard field goal to cut the lead, 14-3. The Raiders scored their fi nal points of the game after the two-minute warning when McFadden scored on a four-yard run to give the Raiders a 21-3 lead at halftime.
Neither team scored in the third quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, DE Brett Keisel recovered an Oakland fumble that was forced by LB Lawrence Timmons, and three plays later QB Ben Roethlisberger found WR Emmanuel Sanders for a nine-yard touchdown to cut the lead, 21-10.
With 1:27 left in the game, RB Le'Veon Bell scored on a two-yard run, and Sanders scored on a two-point conversion to cut the lead, 21-18. The Steelers attempted an onside kick but it was recovered by the Raiders.
Despite the loss, the Steelers defense forced a season-high three turnovers and held their opponents to a season-low 82 net passing yards.
