		The Raiders' collapse a season after playing in the Super Bowl reached new depths as Antwaan Randle El's playmaking led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 27-7 victory in a matchup of disappointing teams.

		Oakland led 7-0 on Tyrone Wheatley's 22-yard run late in the first quarter -- the Raiders' only touchdown in two games -- but offered little resistance after that.

	Franco Harris - Former Pittsburgh Steeler Hall of Famer Running Back, Pittsburgh Passion
		In 1975 Harris became the first player in pro football history to rush for over 4,000 yards in his first four seasons, that year he rushed for 1,246 yards, which at the time was second best in the NFL and highest ever for a Steeler.
		The Steelers went to the AFC Championship game that year, thanks to one of the most memorable of Harris’ plays during that preclusive season: It’s a chilly December day in Pittsburgh and the Steelers are losing to the Raiders 7-6 with only 22 seconds before the fourth quarter of the AFC playoff game ends.
		Harris was the fifth rookie in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards, quickly demonstrating his potential for future greatness.
