FLASH RECAP:
Terrelle Pryor's record-setting 93-yard touchdown run on the game's first play helps Oakland defeat visiting Pittsburgh on Oct. 27, 2013 before an announced crowd of 52,950 at O.co Coliseum.
Darren McFadden contributes two short scoring runs and Oakland's defense has five sacks and allows only 35 rushing yards as the Raiders (3-4) get their first win after a bye in 11 games. Oakland had not won after its bye week since the 2002 season.

The Steelers (2-5) rally in the fourth quarter on Ben Roethlisberger's 9-yard TD pass to Emmanuel Sanders and Le’Veon Bell’s 2-yard scoring run.
