Jimmy Graham leaves Seattle Seahawks game with knee injury

Quarterback Russell Wilson did what he had to do to make sure the Seattle Seahawks didn’t blow a fourth-quarter lead for the sixth time this season.

But on the next play, Wilson gunned a pass to Baldwin for a touchdown.

The Steelers are 6-5 and remain in contention for a playoff berth, but their chances took a hit with the loss. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin chose to kick a 22-yard field goal with 3 minutes left, relying on his defense to make a stop and his offense to continue rolling past 500 yards to a winning field goal following a punt… that never came. “Obviously, we felt like opportunities were the there in the passing game and they were, but just not enough collectively to win”.

Seattle Seahawks’ tight end Jimmy Graham injured his knee during his team’s game with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Graham, a big-money signing over the summer from the New Orleans Saints, went down clutching his knee early in the fourth quarter as he attempted to reach back and haul in a pass from Wilson. “It can’t get any more fun”, Wilson said. Nick Foles returned as the starter and threw three interceptions, including one that Leon Hall returned 19 yards for a touchdown.

Brown finished with six catches for 51 yards, but the Steelers couldn’t overcome four turnovers. “That’s my biggest weakness”.

Bengals 31, Rams 7: Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes – two of them to A.J. Green – and Cincinnati ended its brief slide.

“Sometimes it bounces your way”, Sherman said, “sometimes it doesn’t”.

Ben Roethlisberger, aside from the two interceptions, had a monster day himself going 36-for-55 for 456 yards.

Backup quarterback Landry Jones, on a fake field goal, also was intercepted and the Seahawks also responded with a touchdown on that series.

As December begins, Pittsburgh (6-5) is right in the middle of the chaos wondering how it let a winnable game slip away so convincingly in a 39-30 loss. ” … We’re going to do what’s right to safeguard the health of those guys”.

“There’s no way we should be letting them score on those plays or convert on those plays”, Heyward said.

“We had talked about it going into this game and that was one of our goals but we didn’t accomplish it”. The Goldsboro, North Carolina football player is expected to miss the remaining of the 2015 season and will also undergo a surgery.

The Steelers led at the end of each of the first three quarters, but could not hang on and fell 39-30. The primary weapon for Pittsburgh, Antonio Brown was held in check most of the day by All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman. In addition to Wheaton and Miller, Martavis Bryant made an impact with 69 yards on five catches, while DeAngelo Williams chipped in with seven catches of his own for 88 yards. Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had 10 catches for 66 yards, surpassing Hall of Famer Steve Largent for 16th place on the career list for yards receiving and moving him into 12th place for receptions past Randy Moss. Seattle’s passing offense has struggled most of the season, but QB Russell Wilson torched the Steelers for 345 passing yards and five touchdowns.

Rounding out the Sunday Week 13 National Football League schedule, we had an AFC matchup between the Colts and the Steelers. He was undergoing concussion tests, although results weren’t immediately available. The two will finish off the regular season in what could be an important meeting January 3 in Glendale, AZ. And it would have been higher if not for a 28-yard fourth-quarter catch being overruled after video review determined he initially juggled the ball before stepping out of bounds.

Ryan Shazier leaves the game with another injury this time a concussion. “He’ll attack this rehab and be back next year”, Seattle tight end Luke Willson said. He proceeded to play the next nine plays, which led the Steelers to the red zone for a field goal.
