Seahawks QB Russell Wilson takes to air to bring down Steelers
The last time Jeremy Lane was on a professional football field before this Sunday was against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX.
If both teams hold serve the next two games, the Steelers travel to Cincinnati in a game that could decide the division once and for all. A similar performance from Shazier against Wilson on Sunday would make Seattle a two-dimensional team – still risky, but a much easier task for the rest of the Pittsburgh defense.
But the 2015-2016 season has not gone according to expectations for either club. Mike Tomlin’s team will have its work cut out for it on Sunday, with the Seahawks battling to get back in the NFC playoff picture and getting the luxury of playing in CenturyLink Field, which has proven to be one of the toughest places to play in football.
Moving to the road team, the Steelers have a record of 5-3-2 ATS and 6-4 SU. Roethlisberger is considered as one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
As they sit with a 2-8 record, all the Browns can do right now is do their best to take players off of their roster who are not committed to winning.
So far this season, the Steelers have done a fine job at shutting down running quarterbacks in Colin Kaepernick and Johnny Manziel. He has become the full-time running back since Le’Veon Bell went to injured-reserve. Seattle went from having third-and-goal at the 1 to having the ball on the Pittsburgh 16, but Baldwin caught a 16-yard scoring pass. On the ground, DeAngelo Williams had 54 yards in 17 attempts. Offensive line issues have plagued Seattle this season, but QB Russell Wilson has played well, and the emergence of RB Thomas Rawls has made up for a lack of production from Marshawn Lynch.
So, with just six regular season games left on the schedule, Seattle needs to win out and hope Arizona slips up along the way several times, including when the two meet for the second and last time of the regular season January 3 in Arizona. During that time, opponents have gained an average of 85.0 rushing yards against this intimidating group. That’s the last time Seattle has scored against Pittsburgh. “It’s just my makeup”.
It’s just different when you go across the country. The Seattle Seahawks have lost the last three games they’ve placed against the Pittsburgh Steelers (and we’re not even going to bring up a certain Super Bowl in which certain refs screwed a certain team out of their first title).
Meanwhile, the Steelers are at 6-4 at the moment after consecutive wins helped them in the standings. Carroll said the injury will require surgery. One in Antonio Brown is quick and fast, the other in Richard Sherman is long and physical.
For fans in the United States, Mexico and surrounding territories, NFL Game Pass Domestic allows replays of games to be watched on demand for a fee of $99.99 for the season. Things changed when he matched up against Dez Byrant in Week 9, though.
That painful result still overshadows the more recent history between these two teams.
“Early on I did”, he said this week when asked if he still hears from a lot of Seahawks fans about the play and game. It should be a close game and one that Pittsburgh could very well win if Ben Roethlisberger is on his game with his downfield passing.
On the season, the Seattle Seahawks average 219.0 yards in passing and 148.6 yards in rushing.
