Wilson’s Five Touchdowns Lead Seattle Seahawks Past Pittsburgh Steelers; Jimmy

It’s a good thing, then, that the Seahawks gave Russell Wilson all that money in anticipation of that.

On Sunday, after being cut three times since 2014, Smith made his first National Football League catch. With his number one target, Antonio Brown, blanketed by Richard Sherman for most of the afternoon, he exploited his other match-ups, exceptionally.

It was a relatively quiet first quarter for both teams, despite the Steelers having dominated the eye-test.

But for Pittsburgh’s final drive, after Baldwin’s clinching TD, Landry Jones was the Steelers’ quarterback.

That 49-yard drive began after Jarvis Jones returned the kickoff 36 yards and Kam Chancellor was penalized 15 yards for bringing him down with a horse collar tackle. The touchdown came on an 11-yard reverse by Martavis Bryant. Graham is a better player than Willson, but on defined reads like this, the difference between the two tight ends is often negligible. Wilson to Graham for another 18. Of course. We also run the ball extremely well down there (near the goal line), too. The Steelers were equally unimpressive in this area, and while it led to lots of points, there will be some ugly game film for these defenses. Seattle went 3-and-out to end the half. “Russell had a great game back there, (running back Thomas Rawls), everybody over there, man. Everybody over there is capable of making plays and they did it when they had their chances to”.

As the Seattle Seahawks are showing; yes, yes it is.

Third quarter, 5:54 left: Boswell adds a 25-yard field goal to give the Steelers a 21-14 lead. The Hawks responded by going 3-and-out for the 3rd time in a row.

Roethlisberger would lead the Steelers right back on a 14-play drive that ate up more than five minutes off the clock, and Tomlin would be forced to make a decision that will face a number of skeptics after the fact. It was Ben’s 5th game in a row with an interception thrown, a career high. For the 2nd game in a row, Steven Hauschka missed the extra point and Pittsburgh maintained a 1 point lead 21-20. Kearse caught multiple touchdown passes for the first time in his career.

Wilson’s first major contribution came on third-and-goal from the 16 in the opening quarter. In the simplest form on Sunday, there were many instances when the Seahawks had two routes attacking one defender and his oversized area of responsibility. After he was helped up by teammates, he seemed fine. Instead, Baldwin made his icing on the cake touchdown run.

Jones shifted into the shotgun, took the snap and rolled to his right, looked for Heath Miller, who was covered, and threw across his body for offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva, who was an eligible receiver on the play. Graham appeared to twist his right ankle, and possibly his knee, while reaching back for a ball in the end zone.

– 49ers tight end Garrett Celek was carted off the field with a left ankle injury.

Despite reportedly being ill, Wilson was 21-of-30 for 345 yards.

SEATTLE (AP) – Russell Wilson was sick of the story line about the Seattle Seahawks inability to finish games in the fourth quarter.

This game marks yet another standout performance for Wilson – the quarterback now has thrown for eight touchdowns in his last two games.

-Seattle was pretty good in the red zone, huh?

The reward for Wilson’s effort was finally getting Seattle above the. 500 for the first time all season, and put the team in the NFC’s second wild-card position over the fading Falcons.

Roethlisberger completed 36 of 55 passes for 456 yards, but he also was intercepted twice and Seattle turned those into touchdowns.

– Cardinals running backs Andre Ellington hurt his left foot and Chris Johnson injured his left knee. Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin caught three touchdown passes from Wilson on the day, including an 80-yarder with 2:01 left that sealed the deal. Roethlisberger has played in just six games this season due to injury.

What’s the biggest issue for the Steelers defense?

Meanwhile, the St. Louis Rams got demolished by the Cincinnati Bengals 31-7. And though there be dragons ahead – Minnesota next week, Arizona after New Year’s – at least the Seahawks have manufactured a little momentum.
