Russell Wilson passes Seahawks to win over Steelers

He felt just fine by the end of the day, after one of the best performances of his career led the Seahawks to a needed 39-30 victory over the Steelers.

“We went 2-for-2 in the afternoon, and both of them were sizable decisions”, Kornegay said. The Patriots, who had won 47 consecutive games when leading by 14 points or more in the fourth quarter, were given a 97.4 percent chance of winning early in the fourth, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Willson immediately hauled in the next Russell Wilson pass for 12-yards. The last time Graham faced the Steelers, he was the most important decoy on the field.

On third down, Wilson hit Tyler Lockett over the middle for a 16-yard touchdown.

But Lane, playing in his first game since he broke his arm and injured his knee in the Super Bowl on February 1, intercepted Jones’ plopped pass. Lane returned it 54 yards to the Pittsburgh 24 before he fell on his face because his rusty legs got exhausted.

Jeremy Maclin, Chiefs: He caught nine passes for 160 yards and a touchdown in his team’s 30-22 win over the Bills. He was taken down by Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright after a 7-yard gain on third-and-goal from the 10-yard line with under four minutes remaining. Graham’s season came to an end with a patellar tendon injury on a pass to the end zone.

He sent in Jones to hold for a 45-yard field goal. The lead changed eight times in this topsy-turvy event, and there were stars everywhere, especially on offense, and often the unexpected kind. That was following a blow to his head by Seattle defensive end Michael Bennett in the fourth quarter. So before the 49ers game I went back and watched the National Football League championship game three years ago. But Seattle’s defense showed better life in the 2nd half sacking Ben twice on their first possession.

On 2nd and 3 from the 32, Ben let a ball go he tried to hold on to and Ahtyba Rubin came down with the lame duck of a pass giving Seattle the ball right back. He finished the game with a career-high 201 yards receiving and he torched the Seattle secondary on a regular basis. Cam Heyward tipped the extra point kick and it was no good so the Steelers clung to a 21-20 lead. Bryant was open, and Roethlisberger laid the ball into his hands, but it was knocked out by CB DeShawn Shead.

The Steelers made a clear effort to keep Russell Wilson in the pocket on Sunday. Watching from the cozy indoors at field level was Peyton Manning as Brock Osweiler and the Broncos (9-2) overcame an early 14-0 deficit and handed the Patriots (10-1) their first loss since 2014. And the Seahawks finally got on the top side of the. Brown, with Sherman following him all over the field, caught six passes for 51 yards.

Roethlisberger was also on the sideline for the final 2 minutes getting examined for a possible concussion, leaving Landry Jones to try and pull off a late rally that never materialized.

The Steelers made it a point to contain him from taking off and running. He’s trusting his underrated receivers to help him out with some big plays after the catch. He was carted off and later announced as needing season-ending surgery on the knee.

“I thought I was in”, Wheaton said, “but (the officials) looked at it, so I’m sure they got it right”. The touchdown came on an 11-yard reverse by Martavis Bryant. We know it can work for their offense in practice; Seattle’s 4-3 defense, though different from Pittsburgh’s 3-4, also features single-high zone coverage. Wilson coolly flicked the ball over Dupree’s left shoulder and hit Doug Baldwin in stride on a crossing pattern against a trailing-as-always Antwan Blake.

Will Allen – Looked out of place and was part of the problem when Wilson attacked the Steelers’ defense through seams. Three weeks ago vs. Oakland, Williams accumulated 225 all-purpose yards. It was Baldwin’s 3rd of the game, Wilson’s 5th and the longest play of the season for Seattle.

It was the 20th three-interception game of Manning’s career. At 6-5 Seattle moved into the NFC’s final wild-card position, ahead of the Atlanta Falcons on a tiebreaker, and inexplicably it may actually fall to the offense rather than the defense to drag Seattle to the finish line.

Meanwhile, the St. Louis Rams got demolished by the Cincinnati Bengals 31-7. I’m a little surprised it was as close as it was, but not as surprised as the huge shootout in Seattle.
