Five things we learned from the Raiders locker room following Sunday’s 38-35 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.

1) Charles Woodson won’t allow himself to be injured.

Woodson has played banged up virtually all season after dislocating his shoulder in the final minute of the season opener. He was hurt on the second play of this game and briefly left and was banged up again later and missed five plays. Still, he refuses to sit out.

“I don’t know how to be hurt,” Woodson said. “I’ve been injured where you can’t play, but if I’m able to get up and move around, I’m not coming off the field.”

Are coaches tell him he should sit out a few plays or maybe even a game?

“Yeah, but I ain’t listening,” Woodson said.

2) Even the Raiders were in awe of Antonio Brown.

Brown was dominant with 17 catches for 284 yards and another 22 yards rushing.

“He played great,” David Amerson said. “Hats off to him. He’s a great player but we’ve got to do better.”

Michael Crabtree, when asked about Brown, first wanted to know how many targets he had. That would be 23.

“That’s amazing,” Crabtree said.

Woodson delivered the best praise.

“As a fan of the game, he’s one of the most exciting players in the NFL,” he said. “I love to watch him play when we’re not playing against him. We had times where we had two people on him and he was able to still get the ball.”

3) The Raiders aren’t satisfied with this offensive performance.

Oakland had at least 34 points for the third straight game, but quarterback Derek Carr thinks they can do more.

“During the game, you sometimes don’t understand what you a redoing or how much you scored or anything like that,” Carr said. “We could have do so much more. That’s the thing that hurts me. When we lose close games like this, I’m hard on myself. I ask what more could I have done?”

4) Carr has no regrets about taking a knee to end the second quarter.

The Raiders had all their time outs and 29 seconds left when Carr took a knee to go into halftime trailing 21-14. Carr’s brother, NFL Network analyst David Carr, wasn’t a huge fan of it.

But Derek Carr said after the game he wasn’t questioning the move at all.

“No one ever doubts what our coaches do in our locker room,” he said. “I’m not worried about it.”

5) The Raiders know they need to protect the ball better.

Coach Jack Del Rio placed much of the loss on losing the turnover battle 4-2.

“If you win the turnover battle, you win the game,” he said. “We didn’t.”

The most costly was Taiwan Jones’ fumble on a kickoff that Pittsburgh recovered at the 6-yard line to set up a quick and easy scoring drive.

“I didn’t protect the ball,” Jones said. “Whoever the guy was, he made a good play on it. It’s just rule No. 1: protect the ball and I didn’t do that.”
