There probably is a case to be made that NFL coaches go for it on fourth down too often now. They went from never going for it to being a little too aggressive over the last few seasons.
McDaniels made a very conservative call, kicking a a short field goal with a little more than two minutes left and trailing 23-15 instead of going for it on fourth-and-4 from Pittsburgh's 8-yard line. The situation called for the Raiders to go for it, especially deep in Steelers territory. McDaniels kicked.
T.J. Watt was doing his best to disrupt everything. He overwhelmed right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor. The Raiders couldn't get anything going on the ground — Josh Jacobs stayed away from the team through the preseason, unhappy with the franchise tag, and he has gotten nothing going through three weeks of the season — and that put the offense on Garoppolo's shoulders.
The Raiders tried to give the Steelers a break by kicking a field goal on fourth down with 3:15 left instead of going for it. However, a leverage call on Steelers defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal, when he pushed off a Raiders lineman to jump and try for the block, cost the Steelers 15 yards and gave the Raiders a first down. Then, a few plays later in a situation that screamed even louder to go for it, the Raiders kicked the field goal.
McDaniels got the field goal, but he also didn't get the ball back until only a few seconds were left on the clock.The Steelers offense has had its issues. It started slow on Sunday night, though a 72-yard touchdown to Calvin Austin III kept the team afloat.
