Seahawks outlast Steelers in back-and-forth game, 39-30

After sweeping the Niners, the Seahawks were 5-5 heading into Sunday.

The Rams’ offense is the worst in the league for passing and recalled quarterback Nick Foles threw three interceptions, with the Bengals’ Leon Hall returning one for a 19-yard touchdown. 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.

“We didn’t have enough three-and-outs”, defensive end Cam Heyward lamented.

Running Backs- DeAngelo Williams carried the ball only eight times and averaged only 3.6 yards per carry.

Yes, his Sunday performance was a stirring example of why Seattle gave its franchise quarterback an $87.6 million contract extension this summer.

“We definitely feel it’s happening”, Carroll said.

STILL STREAKING: Lost in the performance by Wilson was another 100-yard day on the ground by the Seahawks, extending their streak to 22 straight games of rushing for at least 100 yards as a team.

“Obviously, to lose him really hurts”, Wilson said. “(Wilson) understands zone coverage and we were in a lot of zone coverage. Their best hope is to beat Indianapolis and hope the Texans win the AFC South. The head-to-head victory over the Colts would help the Steelers in a tiebreaker and it’d be another conference victory. It wasn’t happening. So now the Hawks are actually in the playoff hunt – they hold the sixth spot right now thanks to a tiebreaker with Atlanta – with another huge game looming next Sunday in Minnesota.

The Steelers have to be asking themselves this morning if Robert Golden and Brandon Boykin would be upgrades over Will Allen and Antwon Blake.

Wilson and Ciara came together earlier this year and spoke about dating for a divine objective. Gotta make a tackle and get off the field. Coach Mike Tomlin provided no update after the game. But the fact is: In just 11 games, he came up with the third-most receptions by a tight end in team history and tallied the second-most yards.

“We needed to get a stop”, Tomlin said. Baldwin also had a 16-yard TD catch in the first half and caught a 30-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter after Pittsburgh had taken a 27-26 lead.

Steelers fans can only dream how great this current team would be if only the secondary was better. Super Bowl champions and then they went back to the Super Bowl a year ago.

Added linebacker Arthur Moats: “Gotta move on to the Colts”. As Brown was unable to make a larger impact, Wheaton who had been pretty much a ghost this season, reappeared in Seattle to amass a whopping 201 yards receiving on just nine receptions.

“We come here to win games”, Wheaton said. We travel to win games. A lack of adjustment to the Seahawks defense resulted in the Steelers rolling the dice and turn to the passing game. Pittsburgh LB Ryan Shazier, Seattle DL Demarcus Dobbs and FB Will Tukuafu all left the game with concussions.

“Al’s the second option on that whole deal. We play so hard and so fast that we’re going to mess up at some point, but when we have each other’s backs, it works out”. Lane intercepted a pass from backup QB Landry Jones on a play that began in field-goal formation, then he returned it 54 yards to the Pittsburgh 24-yard line. When it left my hands I thought it was a good throw. “I own that, that’s part of it”. Carroll said FB Will Tukuafu and DL Demarcus Dobbs are both going through concussion protocol….

Roethlisberger completed 36 of 55 passes, but was in the locker room for Pittsburgh’s last-ditch effort after Seattle had taken a 39-30 lead. The Steelers’ weaknesses were exposed and in critical situations failed badly, forcing them to a 6-5 record after a 39-30 loss.

“I know Jimmy and he’s probably down right now, but I’ve gotten to know him these past six, seven months”.
