    The Pittsburgh Steelers picked up a massive 32-13 road victory on Sunday versus the Las Vegas Raiders , as the team is now 4-2 and back in the win column after a two-game losing streak.

    The Steelers relied on their rushing attack to secure the win in Las Vegas, as Arthur Smith's offense ran for 183 yards and three touchdowns, finishing with 5.2 yards per carry.

    Running back Najee Harris rushed for 106 yards on 14 carries and found the end zone in the third quarter, while quarterback Justin Fields added 59 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

    Though the running game thrived on Sunday, the Steelers' passing attack is still a work in progress.

    George Pickens led the team in receiving yards with 53 on three receptions, but it's clear he still needs help. Pittsburgh needs to find Pickens a running mate who can take pressure off.

    So, running back Cordarrelle Patterson decided to use the big win to recruit disgruntled Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams.

    This isn't the first time Patterson has publicly lobbied for the star receiver to join the Steelers.

    A lot of uncertainty currently surrounds the Adams trade situation, but the Steelers are reportedly interested and should do whatever it takes to land the three-time All-Pro.

    Adams would immediately step in as the No. 1 wide receiver and provide the Steelers with a level of play that hasn't been present in the city since Antonio Brown's prime years.

    Pittsburgh would likely only have to surrender a second or third-round pick in the deal, and Adams is still under contract for multiple years. It's a no-brainer for general manager Omar Khan.
