Graham’s year over with injury
In the 39-30 Steelers loss on Sunday, Bryant caught five passes for 69 yards form 13 targets, which included a few downfield drops.
Coach Pete Carroll said after the game that the injury to Graham’s patellar tendon will require surgery. Ryan Fitzpatrick made his 100th start and was 22 for 37 for 277 yards and four touchdowns in the New York Jets’ 38-20 win against the Miami Dolphins….
Wilson threw his fourth touchdown pass of the game on Seattle’s next series, this one 30 yards to Doug Baldwin with 8:12 left.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger did his part to keep the Pittsburgh Steelers in the game Sunday afternoon, throwing for 456 yards against Seattle’s vaunted defense, but in the end he could only watch as the Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson finished the deal. Jeremy Lane picked it off and set up the Seahawks’ first touchdown.
Pittsburgh’s Roethlisberger went 36 for 55 with a touchdown and two interceptions. Seattle has struggled all season with losing games despite winning the turnover battle. Rawls couldn’t run it in for the 2-point conversion and the score found Seattle up 32-27. That they came out of this win over the Steelers with just 6-5 record shows you how they’ve also had trouble holding on late in games this year.
Golden was solid when he had to step in and start three games for Allen earlier this season when Allen had an ankle injury.
“Our offense put up 30 points, they were moving the ball consistently throughout the game, so I definitely take blame for that defensively”, Pittsburgh linebacker Arthur Moats said. “There was so much that happened; so many explosive plays”. The team got back to.
“They saw we were in man (-to-man coverage)”, Blake said.
After slipping past one defender, the 5-foot-9 Baldwin, never known as a power guy, jammed a stiff-arm into the final defender, dropping him to clear the way to the end zone and the biggest win of the season. The lead changed eight times in this topsy-turvy event, and there were stars everywhere, especially on offense, and often the unexpected kind. And Seattle did an adequate job on Martavis Bryant – minus one leaping catch on a deep ball – and Antonio Brown, who was shadowed most of the game by Richard Sherman.
“It was two teams fighting tooth-and-nail”, Tomlin said. “I felt confident in our ability to do it. Obviously we didn’t”. Super Bowl champions and then they went back to the Super Bowl past year. “So we’re going to treat this like it’s a great football team, which it is, and go in there to a great environment and try to play our best”. Coach Mike Tomlin provided no update after the game.
Secondary- Wilson threw for 345 yards and five touchdowns and majority were easy throws as receivers were running wide open all day.
COLTS 25, BUCCANEERS 12: Matt Hasselbeck threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns and Adam Vinatieri made four more field goals for the Colts. Williams was the next leading receiver for the Steelers and he had 88 yards. It was still too little, too late, and another lost opportunity.
There was plenty of blame to go around in this loss. The last time Graham faced the Steelers, he was the most important decoy on the field. “That’s the big scheme of things”.
Even Carroll, who just trained Graham this season, has very nice words to say for the former New Orleans Saints player.
