The Las Vegas Raiders will be playing the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 31st time. These two teams are pretty familiar with each other, and so is first-year Raider Davante Adams.
This game will feature a tribute to the 'immaculate reception,' a game that happened 50 years ago between the two that ended on what is said to be one of the crazier games in the history of the NFL. I mean, they don't just give out names to every game, you know.
With both teams being 6-8, and fighting for a chance to be in the playoffs, maybe we can see some more craziness and magic.
While Adams is new to the team, he isn't new to the Steelers. He is actually very familiar with the team and the things they like to do.
"They do a lot of different things," Adams said. "One of those teams that kind of mix it up a lot. They are pretty good with their disguises and different things like that to keep us watching pre-snap and post-snap, the shell, and all that type of stuff. It's a lot of things that I've seen on tape from other teams as well. I've also got a little bit of history playing against that team too. I've played up against some of those guys – a solid team for sure."
The Steelers are a team that almost always has a good defense, especially with Mike Tomlin as the head coach. However, the Steelers allow the ninth-most passing yards per game.
Adams, as a Green Bay Packer, played the Steelers last season and won 27-17. Adams finished with six catches for 64 yards. The time before that, in 2017, Adams went for five catches and 82 yards, and a touchdown. Those are the only two times that Adams has played the Steelers.
The Raiders have a history with the Steelers, as does Adams. I think we will see him exploit some of the things he talked about on Saturday night.
