Week 6 of the NFL was undoubtedly a boost for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who, after decisively defeating the Las Vegas Raiders, continue their strong momentum this season. Head coach Mike Tomlin spoke about his players after the game played at Allegiant Stadium.
The team led by Russell Wilson demonstrated solid performance on the field, showcasing strength not only in their defense but also in their offense. With few cracks throughout the game, they managed to secure a decisive victory with a score of 32-13.
After the game and with the victory secured for Pittsburgh, head coach Mike Tomlin spoke to NFL.com, leaving no doubts about his team’s performance against the Raiders.
“I just thought it was a collective effort, not only the bigs but the perimeter people,” Tomlin said. “And obviously Naj and everyone else. But I just thought anytime you have a run output like that it’s not an individual, it is a collective.”
With a positive record of 4-2, the Pittsburgh Steelers will face nothing less than Sunday Night Football next week when they host Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets.
Tomlin shares his admiration for the fans in Las Vegas
Before the start of the game in which the Steelers ultimately defeated the Raiders, head coach Mike Tomlin was taken aback by the number of Pittsburgh fans filling the stands of Allegiant Stadium.
Regarding this situation, the head coach stated via TribLive: “I think the first thing that needs to be said is just really taken aback by the support that we got here from our fans, Steeler Nation,” Tomlin said. “Continually, man, they show up. Man, I just thought it was awesome, man. The environment for a road venue was special.”
