Seattle Seahawks place Jimmy Graham on injured reserve

But after the big day for Wilson, Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse, the Seahawks are second in the National Football League in yards per pass attempt at 8.4, trailing only the Arizona Cardinals (9.0).

Just as Seattle expects Luke Willson to step in for Graham, Carroll is equally confident the Seahawks can fix their problems defensively that led to Roethlisberger’s big game through the air.

That wasn’t the case Sunday as Ben Roethlisberger accounted for over 400 passing yards, 456 to be exact, but the Seahawks rallied to earn a 39-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. This happened despite losing Jimmy Graham to an injury in the fourth quarter.

Graham and Russell Wilson were just starting to click.

“That was a lot of fun”. He also discussed how the spread gives Wilson only his five offensive linemen to protect him, forcing him to get the ball out quicker. – Alex Smith passed for 255 yards and two touchdowns, Jeremy Maclin had nine receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown, Spencer Ware ran for 114 yards and a score, and Kansas City won its fifth straight. Baldwin caught a 30-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter after Pittsburgh had taken a 27-26 lead. Except there was no crumbling Sunday, no wondering who was going to make the critical play. When Landry Jones’ interception on a fake field-goal attempt is factored in the Seahawks scored three touchdowns off those interceptions.

But most of the credit falls to Wilson for one of the finest regular-season performances of his career.

He has raised his passer rating on the season to 102.9, the highest he’s had in any season of his career so far.

“We come here to win games”, Wheaton said. It was only during his stint with Seattle this year that he was bound to miss all games after the 10th game.

The reward for Wilson’s effort was finally getting Seattle above the.

Carroll told 710 AM he spent extra time following Sunday’s game essentially comforting the 29-year-old Graham, who has two years remaining on the contract Seattle inherited in March’s trade from New Orleans.

Coach Pete Carroll said after the game that the injury to Graham’s patellar tendon will require surgery.

Visiting Seattle for the first time in his career, Roethlisberger ignored the noise of the “12th Man” and put together the best passing performance ever against the Seahawks. Russell played lights out and it took everything we had to win this game.

Roethlisberger was pulled with 2 minutes left and taken to the locker room for concussion protocol. 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. He was acquired by Seattle this offseason in exchange for a first-round pick and center Max Unger. He was not made available to the media after the game, and Tomlin did not know the results of the test. “We’ll see”, he said about a half hour after the game ended. “We played relentless football, and that’s how we have to play”.

Graham landed awkwardly as he attempted to reach behind him and catch a pass from Wilson in the end zone early in the fourth quarter.

– 49ers tight end Garrett Celek was carted off the field with a left ankle injury.

But Seattle’s offense didn’t miss a beat. “It had been missing in our game, and that gave us the opportunity with field position and drive momentum that was really important”.

South Dakota shot 71 percent in the second half (17 of 24) and finished at 58 percent for the game.
