Pittsburgh Steelers: 5 Major Keys For A Win Over The Seattle Seahawks
Antwon Blake is the goat of the game with two special teams penalties and allowing the game-clinching touchdown by Seattle late in the fourth quarter. Rawls has miles to go to prove he has what it takes over the long haul. Throughout the entire game, the teams went back and forth exchanging scores as both offenses moved the ball easily.
The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly considering placing running back Marshawn Lynch on season-ending injured reserve. Roethlisberger has tremendous weapons in his arsenal to use, such as Antonio Brown Martavis Bryant. “I don’t know what to say about it. We got outplayed in all phases of the game”. “That’s my biggest weakness”.
Pummeling the Steelers was one of the few highlights of Chuck Knox’s last season as Seahawks coach.
Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman has followed the likes of A.J. Green, Torrey Smith and Dez Bryant this season.
“Sometimes it bounces your way”, Sherman said, “sometimes it doesn’t”.
Instead of punter Jordan Berry holding for kicker Chris Boswell, backup quarterback Landry Jones was in and Seattle immediately picked up on the potential for a trick play.
That painful result still overshadows the more recent history between these two teams. A victory here over the Pittsburgh would put them over the.
Graham was eventually given an air cast to stabilize his right leg and and was carted off the field to the locker room. While Roethlisberger has battled a pair of injuries this season, the two-time Super Bowl champion has shown on more than one occasion that even when he’s less than 100 percent, he’s a player who can dominate a game with his clutch throws and sound decision-making. He threw for 456 yards, topping the 455 of Philip Rivers in 2010, but that wasn’t enough for Pittsburgh (6-5), which had its two-game win streak snapped.
Wilson capped that drive with a 9-yard TD pass to Kearse, but the lead lasted all of 26 seconds.
In a span of 4 minutes, 5 seconds, the two teams combined for three touchdowns in the fourth.
Thomas Rawls has been doing a pretty fair impression of Lynch, considered by many outside of Pittsburgh to be the best running back in the game. Wilson completed 21 of 30 passes for a career-regular-season-high 345 yards. Ben Roethlisberger connects with Jesse James on the two-point conversion to give the Steelers a 18-14 lead. LB James Harrison (knee), who missed the previous game two weeks ago against Cleveland, is probable, along with CB Brandon Boykin (ankle), LB Terence Garvin (knee) and S Shamarko Thomas (knee).
“We know what we have in store for us”.
NOTES: LB Ryan Shazier (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game despite being a full participant in practice Friday after sitting out Thursday’s practice. He did not return….
In recent years the Seahawks have often relied on their defense to win games when the offense was struggling. Pead was inactive for both games since being signed as a free agent November 2 following four seasons with the Rams. Seattle FB Will Tukuafu and DT Demarcus Dobbs suffered first-half concussions and did not play in the second half.
