Seahawks’ Graham out for the season
Wilson’s left shoulder was wrapped, and his energy was drained after waking up at 5:45 Sunday morning with an illness.
“That was a lot of fun”.
Asked if this was the worst he has felt through a game, Wilson said, “Physically?”
Baldwin caught a crossing route on third-and-10 at the 20, broke two tackles and raced for the clinching score.
The game was up for grabs when Graham went down, with four touchdowns coming in the last 12:21. The biggest thing that stood out was the big plays, and that’s on us as a whole.
Wilson’s 5 touchdowns guided the Seahawks to pull off a 39-30 victory over the Steelers.
But most of the credit falls to Wilson for one of the finest regular-season performances of his career. Here is a video of Baldwin snagging a clutch throw from Wilson for a 30-yard touchdown.
San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers reached 40,000 yards passing in his 159th game for the fourth-fastest rate in National Football League history. Seattle’s quarterback woke up Sunday morning feeling unwell, requiring three IVs while he was on the sidelines.
He was finally beginning to feel like a piece of Seattle’s attack and not a forced option. Wilson has been sacked four times in the past two weeks, a significant drop from the pace he was on earlier in the season.
Pete Carroll said Jimmy Graham’s knee injury shouldn’t threaten his availability for the start of next season.
-PASSING OFFENSE: B. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 456 yards and a touchdown, but he had two costly interceptions that Seattle converted into touchdowns. Seattle is now 6-5 and currently sitting in a Wild Card spot for the playoffs, so what should we be making of this version of the Seahawks?
Roethlisberger headed to the locker room during the Steelers’ final series. He led Pittsburgh to the Seattle 4-yard line with three minutes remaining, but coach Mike Tomlin opted to kick a field goal rather than go for the go-ahead touchdown.
Wide Receivers- Antonio Brown was blanketed by Richard Sherman, but Markus Wheaton stepped up in a big way with nine catches for 201 yards and a touchdown.
Guard Ramon Foster says Pittsburgh needs to cut down on the turnovers and regain its ability to run the ball if it wants to make the playoffs. “That was a little more than we wanted to play him”.
Carroll gave no update update on when tight end Jimmy Graham will have surgery to fix a torn patellar tendon, but confirmed that the injury is a ruptured tendon.
Graham immediately clutched the knee with both hands.
-The Steelers were able to put Seattle in some third-and-long situations where the defense should have an advantage.
Wilson and Warren Moon only have one such game apiece, though Moon did throw five touchdowns a few other times for different teams.
“We made some mistakes that gave him some chances that we normally would like to eliminate, and we’ll get better at, ” Carroll said.
His struggles led to the benching last week and it continued Sunday, with DeShawn Shead taking Williams’ place in the starting lineup.
To start the game, the team benched former starter and perpetual sieve Cary Williams, proving the “Hawks saw a change was necessary”.
Graham is the Seahawks second leading receiver thus far this season. Pittsburgh linebacker Ryan Shazier, Seattle defensive lineman Demarcus Dobbs and fullback Will Tukuafu left the game with concussions.
