The Raiders (5-4) (1-3 V) are on a BYE Week after beating Kansas City 23-20 (OT), at home, in Week 9. They now sit atop the AFC West. Against the Chiefs, QB Jason Campbell made 19 of 33 passes for 229 yards with one TD’s and an interception. RB Darren McFadden had 17 carries for 89 yards, while their top WR Jacoby Ford made six catches for 148 yards. WR Darrius Heyward-Bey missed all five catches thrown his way. Their defense got three sacks and one interception. No team has found much success rushing the football against the Steelers this season, so it should come as no surprise that Darren McFadden is going to have his work cut out for him. The Patriots RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis gained 87 yards in Week 10 against Pittsburgh, the most of any back this season. On average, opponents gain 63 rushing yards per contest, and ball carriers gain just 2.8 yards per carry. McFadden continued his breakout season last week by collecting his seventh consecutive game with 100 or more yards from scrimmage — a streak destined to end in Pittsburgh. The Raiders offense is ranked 11th overall (361ypg) with an 25th ranked pass game (198ypg) and the NFL’s second best ranked running game (162ypg). They score the seventh most amount of points per-game (26.1ppg). RB Darren McFadden leads their offense with six TD’s. The Raiders go head to head against the Steelers ninth ranked defense (315ypg), their 26th ranked pass rush (252ypg) and the NFL’s best ranked rush defense (63ypg).

The Steelers (6-3) (2-2 H) lost to New England 26-39, at home, in Week 10 and have dropped to second in the AFC North. QB Ben Roethlisberger completed 30 of 49 passes for 387 yards with three TD’s and an interception. RB Rashard Mendenhall had 11 carries for 50 yards, while WR Mike Wallace made eight catches for 136 yards with two TD’s. WR Emmanuel Sanders got in on the action and added a TD. Their defense couldn’t sack or intercept Tom Brady. WR Hines Ward said he will play Sunday against the Raiders despite sustaining a concussion during the first half of Sunday night's loss. Kicker Jeff Reed began the season as one of the 10 most accurate kickers in NFL history. Well, after struggling threw Week 10 he was cut Tuesday and replaced by former Redskins and Cowboys kicker Shaun Suisham. Reed has missed seven of 22 attempts overall, including all four between the 40- and 49-yard lines. He was 4 of 9 at Heinz Field, where swirling winds and mushy grass make kicking difficult. Suisham played with the Rams in 2009 where he made 20 of 24, his longest was 48 yards. The Steelers are ranked 24th overall on offense (313ypg) with a 22nd ranked pass game (200ypg) and a 13th ranked ground game (113ypg). The Steelers score the 16th most points per-game (22.2ppg). Rashard Mendenhall leads their offense with seven TD’s. The Steelers do battle against the Raiders ninth ranked defense (309ypg), the NFL’s second best ranked pass rush (184ypg), and their 24th ranked rush defense (124ypg). The Raiders give up the 12th least amount of points per-game (20.9ppg).
