This was one of the coldest games I’ve ever covered. I did a game in Cleveland many years ago that was -20 degrees. Maybe that was my coldest game???
Anyway, here are some of the photos from last Saturday night’s game. Let’s start with some photos from the Franco Harris jersey number retirement.
Now some game action photos.
It was a great week 2 game at Heinz Field. Here are a few action photos I captured from the Raiders win (sorry Steelers fans).

Well its official. Antonio Brown is being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Oakland Raiders. He’s taking his extremely good football skills and over-heated ego to the west coast. He was also quick with his giant smile. It was fun watching him play over the last seven years while I covered the team. I wish him the best.

Today I’m sharing this photo I took of Free Safety Charles Woodson, when Oakland was in town a few weeks ago. I’ve always liked Charles since his playing days at the University of Michigan. It’s hard to believe he has been in the NFL for 18 years. Gosh, I’m getting old. Anyway, have a great football weekend.

Steelers’ fans travel well and follow their team all over the country. What I didn’t know was that Oakland Raiders’ fans travel in mass as well. On top of the number of fans, they don’t just wear a Raiders jersey. Many of them wear very detailed and over the top costumes. I took more fan photos at the Steelers vs. Raiders game then I normally do in an entire season.
I hope you enjoy seeing the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. I’ve also included a few photos of other off field items that I thought was interesting.

Some of Pittsburgh's finest.
Normally off the ball action doesn’t get much photography attention. On this specific play, I was following Antonio Brown down the field snapping photos as he went. I loved the intensity of both players in this picture.
By the way, Antonio vs. DJ wasn’t even a close match up. Antonio had 17 catches for 284 yards. He ran wild all over the field and had his way with DJ.
