Las Vegas Raiders vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Live Game Updates
The Las Vegas Raiders (6-8) and headed to a collision in the cold against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium tonight.
Neither team can afford a loss. The winner keeps their NFL Playoff dreams alive, but the loser's season comes to a crashing end to their post-season dreams.
Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Las Vegas Raiders win that key statistical battle. For those who don't remember it, it has to do with sacks and turnovers. If the Raiders have three sacks and give up two, they are plus one. They are plus three if they get four turnovers and give up only one. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. On average, teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games.

HALFTIME:
In a game where the weather and the emotion of an entire fanbase was going to be working against them, the Las Vegas Raiders have been able to do enough to have a halftime lead.
Neither team has been particularly efficient on offense, but the Raiders accomplished getting ahead early with a slippery Derek Carr touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow.
The main thanks so far, though, goes to the Raiders defense, who have been able to shut the Steelers down anytime they looked like they were close to scoring.
It helps that the Steelers missed a 43-yard field goal, but the Raiders defense has played perfect complementary football.
Getting a field goal at the end of the first half to keep a touchdown-lead could also be big going ahead for the rest of the game.
In conditions like this in Pittsburgh, points and yards won't come easily, and the Raiders having that cushion will be paramount.
