The Christian athlete subsequently played the best game of the season thus far with a career high five touchdown throws, throwing 345 yards on 21-of-30 passing, which resulted in his team’s 6-5 record. The Seahawks failed on a two-point conversion attempt, their third missed conversion of the sport, and led 32-27, with eight:12 remaining. Except there was no crumbling Sunday, no wondering who was going to make the critical play.

The Steelers’ playoff chances declined after their 39-30 loss in Seattle on Sunday, just as their pass defense did against the Seahawks.
But most of the credit falls to Wilson for one of the finest regular-season performances of his career. Wilson had surpassed three touchdown passes in a game just twice as a pro before Sunday, and he hadn’t accomplished the feat since 2013. 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. Pittsburgh’s loss leaves it three games behind Cincinnati in the AFC North, but the Steelers are still in the middle of the wild card race.
He was finally beginning to feel like a piece of Seattle’s attack and not a forced option. 500 mark for the first time all season, putting them in position for a late charge at a playoff spot over the final five weeks.
It’s hard to find a player in the National Football League who has suffered more injuries in a single season than Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has this year. He caught three passes for 55 yards in a season-opening loss to New England and hadn’t snared more than two aerials since. Not only did the decision give the Seahawks a 7-3 lead it gave them momentum and belief in a game the Steelers had controlled to that point.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may not have a concussion, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Coach Mike Tomlin provided no update after the game.
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.
Coach Gus Bradley had a brief conversation with Hurns on Monday and said, “I think we’re all relieved that he’s good”. At times were weren’t clicking and we had some bonehead plays.
With 13:36 left in Sunday’s 39-30 win over Pittsburgh, Graham’s right leg caught awkwardly in the end-zone turf amid double coverage on an incomplete pass from Russell Wilson.
He immediately called for trainers and was in significant discomfort on the ground – he was carted away from the field after trainers placed an air cast on his right leg.
He could tell there was an implied wink in the question because the Seattle defense has been one of the best in National Football League history over recent seasons while the offense tended to be mostly effective, but certainly not at any historic level.Sweezy chuckled and shook his head, but tackle Garry Gilliam, one cubicle over, jumped in: “Is that a set-up question?” “We’ve just got to win games and make plays”.

“Ultimately, the truth of it is, we found a way to win”, Wilson said. Williams was benched in the second half last week and had started 81 straight games…. Bills running back LeSean McCoy had 70 yards rushing and 31 yards receiving to surpass 10,000 yards from scrimmage for his career…. Pittsburgh LB Ryan Shazier, Seattle DL Demarcus Dobbs and FB Will Tukuafu all left the game with concussions.
