Raiders Linebacker Spillane Prepares for Steelers

The Las Vegas Raiders are preparing to host the Pittsburgh Steelers with a new starting quarterback, Aidan O'Connell, replacing Gardner Minshew as they look to improve their 2-3 record. Linebacker Robert Spillane, who previously played for the Steelers, expressed his eagerness to face his former team, citing a 'chip on his shoulder' after they chose not to re-sign him in free agency. Spillane has been a standout for the Raiders, leading the NFL with 54 tackles through five games and looking to build on his successful season last year, where he recorded 148 tackles. This matchup marks their second meeting, with Spillane having made seven tackles in their previous encounter. The game will also see Steelers quarterback Justin Fields facing off against Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, his former coach in Chicago. Both teams aim to capitalize on this critical matchup to gain momentum in the season.
