This week’s “Sunday Night Football” game has the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) facing off against the Las Vegas Raiders (1-1). Both of these teams are undoubtedly looking to establish some early-season momentum. The Steelers won last Monday against the Browns and will be looking to start some kind of winning streak. Meanwhile, the Raiders are fresh off a definitive 38-10 loss against the Bills and will be looking to redeem themselves in front of their fans at home. Make sure you catch every second of the action – follow our guide to watching “Sunday Night Football” without cable.”
When Is ‘Sunday Night Football’ and Where Can You Watch It?
The Steelers and Raiders are your Week 3 Sunday Night matchup. Here's everything you need to know:
- Who's playing: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Las Vegas Raiders
- When is kickoff: 8:20 p.m. ET / 5:20 p.m. PT on Sep. 24
- Where's the game: Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada
- Where to watch: NBC and Peacock
The Steelers and the Raiders have only played against each other 31 times, including six postseason games, and the Raiders lead the series 17-14. The Raiders have won three of the last five and six of their last ten against the Steelers, but the Steelers squeezed out a win the last time these teams met. That being said, the Steelers haven’t bested the Raiders on the Raiders’ home turf since 1995, and with Pittsburgh missing so many key players, like defensive tackle Cam Heyward, running back Anthony McFarland, and wide receiver Diontae Johnson, this week, they’ve got their work cut out for them.
The Raiders injury report paints a very different picture on the Las Vegas side – defensive end Tyree Wilson is still questionable to play despite practicing Friday, but wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is back in action and, despite not having a designated game status, safety Chris Smith II was a full participant in practice, like Wilson. Luckily for the Raiders, this is a short week for the Steelers, and Las Vegas might have an easier time handling their fatigued opponent.
