Najee Harris contributed with 14 carries for 106 yards and a touchdown, while Chris Boswell added four field goals for the Steelers (4-2), who ended a two-game losing streak.

Aidan O’Connell, making his first start of the season, completed 27 of 40 passes for 227 yards, a touchdown, and an interception for the Raiders (2-4).

Harris extended the lead to 22-7 with a 36-yard touchdown run, weaving through defenders before diving into the end zone.
