Justin Fields passed for 145 yards and rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled away for a 32-13 win over the host Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon.

Najee Harris had 14 carries for 106 yards and a touchdown for Pittsburgh (4-2), which snapped a two-game skid. Chris Boswell added four field goals.

Aidan O'Connell completed 27 of 40 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his first start of the season for Las Vegas (2-4). Alexander Mattison had a rushing touchdown and Kristian Wilkerson had a touchdown catch.

The Raiders led 7-3 at the end of the first quarter, after Pittsburgh opened the scoring on a 52-yard field goal by Boswell.

Las Vegas grabbed the lead on a 3-yard rushing touchdown by Mattison with 4:24 remaining in the first quarter. Mattison sprinted up the middle and followed his blockers for his third touchdown in six games.

Pittsburgh pulled within 7-6 on a 49-yarder by Boswell early in the second quarter.

From there, it was all Steelers.

They grabbed a 12-7 lead with 34 seconds remaining in the first half when Fields faked a handoff on a play-action play, surveyed the field and sprinted toward the left pylon for a 3-yard rushing touchdown.

Boswell made it 15-7 with his third field goal of the game, this time from 37 yards, with 9:20 to go in the third quarter.

Harris increased Pittsburgh's lead to 22-7 with 4:21 left in the third quarter. He weaved through traffic, found an opening down the left sideline and dived across the goal line to complete a 36-yard score.

Fields scored his second rushing touchdown of the game to make it 29-7 with 8:16 to go. His 7-yard sprint marked his fifth rushing touchdown of the season.

The Raiders cut the deficit to 29-13 on O'Connell's 9-yard touchdown pass to Wilkerson with 4:54 to play. Wilkerson scored on a crossing route from left to right.

Boswell finished the scoring with a 36-yarder with 3:55 to go.

Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was active for the first time this season but served as the backup to Fields. Wilson sat out the first five games because of a calf injury.
