The Raiders will look to rebound from a blowout loss a week ago when the Steelers visit Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, and a new starting quarterback will lead the way for Las Vegas.
Aidan O’Connell will look to provide Antonio Pierce with a steady hand, much like O’Connell did a season ago when Pirce took over as interim coach. Not every Raiders fan across the nation can watch on local television, however. But this week’s broadcast map is great news for fans in the Bay Area.
In addition to fans in Las Vegas, fans near the Raiders former home of Oakland can watch the game on CBS at 1:05 p.m. Pacific time. Steelers country gets the broadcast as well, along with a few other areas, displayed in purple on the map provided by 506sports.com.
O’Connell will take over for quarterback Gardner Minshew after Minshew threw two interceptions in the Raiders’ 34-18 loss to the Broncos. O’Connell saw action that game too and threw an interception of his own, but he also had good moments. The Raiders are in dire need of a win, so if O’Connell has improved after his rookie season last year, now is the time to show it.
