Jackpot! How to watch tonight's Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Las Vegas Raiders game on Sunday Night Football
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo knows he needs to improve after the team's 38-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. Citing "self-inflicted errors" as the source of last week's loss, Garoppolo heads into NFL Week 3 focused on correcting his own errors, including his mounting tally of interceptions (three in two games).
"I thought we got off to a good start like we wanted to," Garoppolo reflected. "We talked about it all week, doing that, but we didn't sustain it. It starts with me. I made way too many mistakes -- physical, mental, all of it. We couldn't get into a rhythm. To beat a good team like that at their place, you've got to play a lot better than that."
The Pittsburgh Steelers head to Vegas this weekend for the Raiders home open. Both teams are 1-1. While Garoppolo and company are still smarting from that Week 2 loss to the Bills, the Steelers bound into the weekend fresh off a Monday Night Football upset over rival Cleveland Browns. The Steelers defense put on a show Monday night. If Kenny Pickett and the Steelers offense can sync up, fans might be in store for a Steelers upset over the Raiders Sunday night.

Storylines we're following in the 2023 NFL season
Important dates to remember:
- The 2023 NFL regular season runs today through Jan. 7, 2024.
- Playoffs are scheduled for January 13 through Jan. 28, 2004.
- Super Bowl LVIII is scheduled for Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas
Is this finally Dak Prescott's time to shine? The Cowboys are off to a splashy 2023 season start, 2-0 coming into Week 3. QB Dak Prescott is pick-free, a huge improvement over last season. Prescott tied the league for the most interceptions and never played back-to-back games without a pick. Two games in, the Cowboys are primed to re-earn the title "America's Team". The Cowboys relied on five field goals from rookie kicker Brandon Aubrey to earn their 30-10 victory over the New York Jets. They'll need to score more touchdowns in the coming weeks if they want to be a real Super Bowl contender.
Lamar Jackson/OBJ in Baltimore: The Baltimore Ravens went through a series of staff and player changes during the offseason, designed to further QB Lamar Jackson's development in Baltimore. With a new coordinator a leveled-up offense, including the addition of Odell Beckham Jr., the Ravens are 2-0 this season. The tightened offense has the league on notice.
Is there life after Aaron Rodgers in New York? Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers' New York Jets debut didn't last long before Rodgers was down with a torn ACL. Jets backup QB Zach Wilson took over. Despite a rocky start, Wilson settled in and led the Jets to an OT win. Head coach Robert Saleh assures the team is primed to go all the way with or without Rodgers, but the same team went 7-10 in 2022, which doesn't bode well this season
That 49ers defense is dangerous: Brock Purdy silenced naysayers last season when he took over after both QBs Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo suffered season-ending injuries. Coach Shanahan traded Lance and gave Purdy the starting job this season with little trepidation that the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft had what it takes. Shanahan's decision has paid off two weeks in, the team is undefeated and Purdy shows full command of the team. But the 49ers Nick Bosa-led defense is what could take this team to the Super Bowl. After nearly shutting down Matthew Stafford's offense in the Week 2 against the Rams, this 49ers defense looks unstoppable and quite frankly, completely terrifying to face..
