The Oakland Raiders are greatly improved in coach Jon Gruden's second season back on the sideline.That doesn't mean they have enough talent to overcome the type of mistakes they made in their latest loss in Kansas City.The Raiders (6-6) turned over the ball on their first two possessions Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , threw another interception that was returned for a touchdown later in the first half, and committed 12 penalties. That added up to a 40-9 loss Sunday to the Chiefs that all but ended Oakland's hopes of winning the division and put wild-card chances in jeopardy.“The penalties, the turnovers, dropped passes, miscues have hurt us, and it’s been a big factor I think in the last couple of weeks,” coach Jon Gruden said Monday. “That’s something I’ve got to do a much better job of. I’m the man calling the plays.”After back-to-back 30-point losses on the road to the New York Jets and Chiefs, the Raiders return home for two games that will determine how long they will stay in the playoff race.Oakland trails Pittsburgh and Tennessee by one game for the final wild-card spot, but hosts the Titans on Sunday. The Raiders then finish with three games against teams that are currently 4-8, hosting Jacksonville before finishing on the road against the Chargers and Broncos."We need to be real at what is still at stake for us," quarterback Derek Carr said. "Yes, we got beat twice Jerome Bettis Jersey , and yes, they were terrible losses. But we play some important games coming up. We play some teams that we need to play to get to where we want to get. If we just want to hang our heads and sulk, we can do that. But that's never how I've been and I don't think that's how this group is."WHAT'S WORKINGPass defense. The Raiders mostly kept Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs’ passing game in check. Mahomes threw for 175 yards and had only one pass play of at least 20 yards against a defense that had allowed an NFL-worst 55 pass plays of at least 20 yards the first 11 games.WHAT NEEDS HELPPassing game. Carr once again had a rough day at Arrowhead Stadium, dropping to 0-6 in his career at Kansas City. He threw an interception on the first drive, had another that was returned for a touchdown in the second quarter, and finished 20 for 30 for 222 yards, with most of the production coming on a late drive well after the game had been decided. He didn't get much help from his wide receivers, who had only one catch before the final drive. The lack of an outside threat has hindered the offense greatly, contributing to a nine-quarter stretch without a touchdown.STOCK UPRB Josh Jacobs. One of the only bright spots to another rough day was Jacobs, who had 17 carries for 104 yards to reach 1,061 yards rushing on the season. Jacobs is the fourth Raiders player to reach the 1,000-yard mark in the first 12 games of the season James Conner Jersey , joining Marcus Allen, Mark van Eeghen and Napoleon Kaufman.STOCK DOWNWR/KR Trevor Davis. Davis fumbled a kickoff in the first quarter and then was stopped on a fourth-and-1 end-around in the second quarter when the Raiders were driving down 7-0. Davis was replaced by Jalen Richard on kick returns following his fumble and didn't play another snap on offense after his one run. The Raiders released him on Monday.INJUREDLB Marquel Lee was activated from IR on Monday after being sidelined in September with an ankle injury.KEY NUMBER30 — The Raiders suffered back-to-back losses by at least 30 points for just the second time in franchise history, having also done it in the first two games in 1961. Oakland also joined the 2017 Bills, 2010 Seahawks and 2008 Giants as the only teams in the Super Bowl era to lose back-to-back games by at least 30 points despite having a winning record going into both games.NEXT STEPSThe Raiders return home for the final two scheduled games at the Coliseum, hosting Tennessee on Sunday and Jacksonville next week. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers bring the best wide receiving combo and top tight end twosome into Denver this weekend. Countering all that is the league’s most prolific pass-rushing pair in Von Miller and rookie Bradley Chubb .“It’s unbelievable, maybe the best one in the game right now, those two guys,” Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said Wednesday. “We’re trying to figure out a way to block them so we can make some plays.”Miller, coming off his 100th career sack, and Chubb, the fifth-overall pick in the draft last April https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-terrell-edmunds-jersey , have combined for 19 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, 29 QB hits, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one interception.That takeaway last week in Los Angeles, when Miller picked off Philip Rivers , was a game-changer and maybe even a season-turner for the Broncos (4-6).They had lost four games to the league’s heavyweights by a combined 12 points before eking out a 23-22 win on Brandon McManus‘ field goal as time expired in Los Angeles, ending the Chargers‘ six-game winning streak.McManus had missed in a similar situation against Houston in the Broncos’ previous game, allowing the Texans to escape with a 19-17 win for their sixth straight victory.“This is definitely a team that is much better than their record shows,” said Roethlisberger, whose Steelers (7-2-1) also face the Broncos riding a six-game winning streak .The Steelers present a huge challenge with wide receivers Antonio Brown and Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster — who have a combined 126 catches for 1,673 yards and 14 touchdowns — and in tight ends Vance McDonald and Jesse James Womens Terrell Edmunds Jersey , who have combined for 761 yards and five TDs on 43 receptions.With cornerback Chris Harris losing play-making partner Aqib Talib to a trade last spring and Bradley Roby going through concussion protocol this week, the Broncos will try to counter those duos with their own in Miller and Chubb, the NFL’s most productive pass-rushing pair heading into Week 12.Both have a five-game sack streak going, and their 19 combined sacks are one more than Dee Ford and Chris Jones, each of whom have nine sacks for the Chiefs, and the Rams‘ Aaron Donald (14½) and Ndamukong Suh (3½).Even though he holds on to the ball longer than most, Roethlisberger has long been one of the toughest QBs to take down because of his size and strength. He’s only been sacked 14 times this year.Miller has sacked Roethlisberger three times in four meetings, but he was held without a sack in their last two matchups, the last one coming in the 2015 playoffs that preceded Miller’s monster games against Tom Brady in the AFC championship and against Cam Newton when he won the Super Bowl 50 MVP award.“I’ve got nothing but crazy respect for him,” Roethlisberger said. “Such a good football player and he really takes pride in his craft. He’s almost scientific about it. His work ethic, his studying and all the stuff that he does, he is an incredible football player.”He’s only seen Chubb on video but Roethlisberger said he also has a deep respect for the rookie.“ He just goes. He seems to be very strong. At times Womens James Conner Jersey , he’ll just go right down the middle of a tackle and there’s times that he’s able to get around the outside with a little bit of speed,” Roethlisberger said. “Maybe the quarterback steps up and then he throws a spin move in there. It’s just never quitting.“I feel like he’s watched Von and maybe learned from the best to do it.”Miller, who was named the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday, won’t take any credit, saying Chubb “is just one of those guys who’s way past his years.”And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, “I told Chubb today I was grateful and I’m appreciative to be able to play with a top-5 pick like that because he’s come in, he’s definitely lived up to the hype,” Miller said. “He’s definitely more than advertised and it’s a true blessing to be able to play with a guy like that.”
