Aidan O'Connell completed 27 of 40 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his first start of the season for Las Vegas (2-4). Alexander Mattison had a rushing touchdown and Kristian Wilkerson had a touchdown catch.
The Raiders led 7-3 at the end of the first quarter, after Pittsburgh opened the scoring on a 52-yard field goal by Boswell.

Pittsburgh pulled within 7-6 on a 49-yarder by Boswell early in the second quarter.
From there, it was all Steelers.
They grabbed a 12-7 lead with 34 seconds remaining in the first half when Fields faked a handoff on a play-action play, surveyed the field and sprinted toward the left pylon for a 3-yard rushing touchdown.
Boswell made it 15-7 with his third field goal of the game, this time from 37 yards, with 9:20 to go in the third quarter.
Harris increased Pittsburgh's lead to 22-7 with 4:21 left in the third quarter. He weaved through traffic, found an opening down the left sideline and dived across the goal line to complete a 36-yard score.
Fields scored his second rushing touchdown of the game to make it 29-7 with 8:16 to go. His 7-yard sprint marked his fifth rushing touchdown of the season.
The Raiders cut the deficit to 29-13 on O'Connell's 9-yard touchdown pass to Wilkerson with 4:54 to play. Wilkerson scored on a crossing route from left to right.
Boswell finished the scoring with a 36-yarder with 3:55 to go.
Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was active for the first time this season but served as the backup to Fields. Wilson sat out the first five games because of a calf injury.
