Despite concern Big Ben would miss time, he wound up replacing Jones in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns after Jones suffered a left ankle injury in the first quarter. Antonio Brown had a big game for the Steelers, registering 10 catches for 139 yards and two TDs. DeAngelo Williams will get the bulk of the carries in the running game but if he can’t get it going, the end result will be much more of an air game for Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh opened as a 5.5-point favorite before the number was bet down, while the total opened at 44.5 before being bought up. On the other side, the Seahawks are 5-5 straight up but just 3-6-1 at the betting window, including 2-3 ATS at home.
Both teams will face Denver and Baltimore over the last three games.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the hunt for another AFC North division crown.
The Steelers tried a trick play on 4th down. “Jelling together as a group is where we need to get better, and that’s something that takes a full group effort, coaches and players alike”. But one area they could stand to improve in is their third-down efficiency. If the Bengals win, they will seal up the divison based on head to head and divisional records, if the Steelers win, it’s down to one with three to go.
Chris Warren was named AFC offensive player of the week after smacking around the Steelers, rushing for 125 yards and a TD. In the last three games, the veteran has averaged 134.7 yards from scrimmage and 5.57 per rush, though the Seahawks have limited opponents to 3.74. A 2006 defeat in San Diego by the defending Super Bowl champion Steelers included a pair of second-half interceptions by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger the Chargers turned into points.
Later, the Cowboys’ star quarterback injured the same left collarbone that had kept him out for seven games, and the latest loss leaves the Cowboys on 3-8 and all but out of the reckoning for the Playoff spots.
The last time the Seahawks beat the Steelers was 2003, 23-16. Since Wilson arrived in 2012, Pete Carroll’s men have averaged a 5-1 record in the final six games of the season.
The Seattle Seahawks will likely be without tight end Jimmy Graham the rest of the season, after suffering an awkward leg injury on Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger of Steelers has a lot of time to get ready in the upcoming game.
Through the years he has become accustomed to playing home and away games in stadiums filled with fans of the Steelers, of one of the league’s marquee teams. Roethlisberger is 30-12, including 2-0 this season.
Seattle is winless this season (0-4 SU) in games where it loses the turnover battle. “If we do that repeatedly over the course of five or six weeks, I would imagine we’ll be in pretty good position That’s my mentality”. Then, they follow it up and lose on the road to a very good Arizona Cardinals team 34-31.
Pittsburgh is a Super Bowl contender with arguably the best offense in the league, but it hasn’t encountered a defense as stiff as Seattle’s this season.
