PITTSBURGH –- Raiders quarterback Derek Carr new early in the practice week that Sunday’s game at the Pittsburgh Steelers would be a street brawl.

Things get physical when you play the Steelers, who have a long-standing tradition of laying big hits.

“I knew we were getting in to when I turned on the Steelers film last week,” Carr said after a 38-35 slugfest that went Pittsburgh’s way. “When you play the Pittsburgh Steelers, you’re in for a physical football game.”

Both sides lost key pieces to big hits. Some guys gutted it out with bangs and bruises. That forced more Raiders into the fray.

They were already compensating for injured safety TJ Carrie, giving more snaps to Taylor Mays on passing downs and to Neiko Thorpe in the slot. Veteran safety Charles Woodson played 79 snaps in extreme pain, limited with a weak right shoulder.

The loss of Rodney Hudson gave Tony Bergstrom offensive snaps for the first time since 2012.

The loss of Latavius Murray put fullbacks Marcel Reece and Jamize Olawale into the rushing rotations, especially with Roy Helu inactive as a healthy scratch.

The Raiders went with three receivers quite often, as evidenced by 45 snaps for Seth Roberts.
