The Pittsburgh Steelers are lacing up to take on the Raiders in a must-win AFC showdown in Las Vegas. This would have the makings of a scorcher if not for the convenient retractable roof at Allegiant Stadium.
The Steelers can ill-afford to botch their third straight game, and a two-game losing streak is already more than fans want to see. Mike Tomlin's team needs a bounce-back performance today, and the offense must show the ability to put points on the board.
Early in the season, Pittsburgh has been at the mercy of some questionable calls, and we hope the officials don't negatively impact this game. Traveling across time zones is hard enough, and the Steelers will need to bring their 'A' game. Here are the announcers and referees for today's game.

With a highly-anticipated matchup, CBS will send their top grew to Baltimore as the Ravens host impressive rookie QB Jayden Daniels and the Commanders.

Referees for Steelers vs. Raiders
Head Referee (Crew Chief)
The Steelers and Raiders will be getting head official Alan Eck today. Eck began in the league as a side judge in 2016 before eventually becoming a head referee in 2023.
This year through five games, Eck has called more penalties on the home team (33) than the road team (31). However, the home team is 3-2 with Eck officiating this season. With 12.80 penalties called per game this season, Eck's crew is slightly under the league average (13.09). For what it's worth, Eck's team only called 10.13 penalties per game in 2023, but the home team won a whopping 81.25 percent of the time last year.
