It's been a tough week for Pittsburgh Steelers nation as everyone is mourning the loss of the late great Franco Harris. Pittsburgh is planning to retire ...

All of the advanced metrics seem to say the breakout is legit and that he's not just simply a product of his environment, but the scheme in which he is currently operating in certainly doesn't hurt. The Steelers' second-round selection from this past year currently leads the entire NFL in contested catches of over 20+ air yards with nine. In last week's matchup against the Patriots, Sidney Jones took over on the boundary but shortly after the first series or two, Amik Robertson was inserted into the lineup and played the lion's share of snaps for the rest of the afternoon. [bookmark All Steelers](https://www.si.com/nfl/steelers/) for the latest news, exclusive interviews, film breakdowns and so much more! The biggest drawback with Robertson is that he's only 5-8, 187 pounds, with arms on the shorter side as well. But you can't close the door just yet on Chandler Jones as he's found a recent resurgence as a pass rusher with a whopping 27 pressures over the past four games, according to Pro Football Focus. No tailback has carried the ball more this season with a fullback in the backfield as the Raiders are in 21 personnel at the fourth-highest rate in the league. Jacobs has always been a talented player, but under new play-caller Josh McDaniels, he seems to have unlocked this gear that pretty much no one knew existed as he's looked like a completely different back this season by showing flashes of utter dominance. Now an established veteran in the league, Carr has proven himself to be a solid signal caller, but the narrative around him has certainly shifted. It's been a tough week for Pittsburgh Steelers nation as everyone is mourning the loss of the late great Franco Harris. Carr has looked impressive in previous matchups against the Steelers, owning an 8-1 TD/INT ratio while averaging a spectacular 8.7 yards per attempt. Carr is tied for the league lead with 11 passing touchdowns that travel 20 or more yards down the field.

A day after the 50th anniversary of Franco Harris' "Immaculate Reception" the Steelers honored the Hall of Famer with a 13-10 win over the Raiders.

Pittsburgh rookie [Connor Heyward](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4241961/connor-heyward) ran for a first down to help the Steelers run out of the clock. "I obviously have to do a better job to try and close the gap." "They showed poised and resolve and made the necessary plays.

Yet the similarities end there.

In hindsight, the Las Vegas Raiders played well enough for win this game, which made it all the more disappointing to lose in the fashion they did.

The Silver and Black's 2022-23 season concludes with two home games in the new year – against the 49ers and Chiefs. "I just care so much and when you don't do your best, let your team down, let your organization, the fans down, it hurts. "I thought the defense hung in there," said McDaniels. As much as it sucks, tomorrow you've got to get ready for the next one and that's how it goes. The Silver and Black played with the lead for the majority of Saturday night's game, managing it well with clean football and off the back of the defense. Despite their exits, the defense kept the Steelers out of the end zone until late in the fourth quarter.

The Las Vegas Raiders saw their playoff chances all but come to an end in a 13-10 loss to Pittsburgh.

His best throw was his last, a fastball over the middle to Pickens, who easily split defenders even though he’s Pittsburgh’s best — and sometimes only — downfield threat. “I obviously have to do a better job to try and close the gap.” Yet Las Vegas couldn’t create any real breathing room, thanks in large part to a return to the sloppy form that plagued it during a 2-5 start. Yet barring a miracle, it will miss the postseason despite a series of splashy offseason moves, namely trading for wide receiver Davante Adams. “Just got to do our job. The game followed a formula that’s become second nature to Las Vegas during head coach Josh McDaniels’ uneven first season: It was tight all the way until the end.

Coach Mike Tomlin, Kenny Pickett and Cameron Heyward talk about the win over the Raiders on a night they were honoring Franco Harris.

"I think for me it was just we're still in the hunt. "I think for us it was just a tip of a cap to not only just a Steelers legend, but a great man, a person in this the community who you could always count on, a guy that even when he retired, he still wanted to be your teammate," said Heyward. It was -- with everything building up to this and getting the chance to talk to Franco, I think there are so many joyous moments we've had with him, and it hurt so many in this community to lose a guy like that. "But you knew he lived a full life, and you knew he was loved by so many people. "But as a collective, particularly some of the young offensive skill guys, I thought it was a grow-up night. "You gotta stay even keel throughout it but you know the kind of magnitude of the game with all the outside reasons, Franco. It was a really special night." "I think it was a grow-up evening for us tonight," said Tomlin. "He said the play call. So, we're just thankful to get the victory." "I'm just so thankful of the effort of the guys," said Tomlin.

In this one, the captain made every snap count and gave Raiders' rookie guard Dylan Parham a run for his money. He was in the backfield every single play and I'm super happy for him because I know what he puts into this."
