The Steelers come into this game with a record of 6-4, while the Seahawks are sitting at 5-5.

If the Steelers are to fly home 7-4, I bet it’ll have something to do with a quarterback narrative that’s popped up only three times all year: Ben starts and Ben finishes. I have an idea of some of them, so I’ll try not to steal your thunder and incur your journalin’ wrath. Roethlisberger came back for the Bengals game, just in time for Bell to tear his MCL and miss the reamainder of the season.
-SPECIAL TEAMS: C. First, the good. Wilson threw for 260 yards and threw for three TDs.
Ridpath: You just had to mention my team-colored Seahawks journal, didn’t you?
But in this league and in this season, everything changes in a moment at the quarterback position. “We were pretty young past year”.
When it comes to the Seahawks whose careers are just beginning, Pete Carroll should be thanking his lucky starts that he signed Thomas Rawls after the upstart running back went undrafted. Rawls has miles to go to prove he has what it takes over the long haul.
Julian, assuming Marshawn Lynch is healthy this Sunday, should he get the start over the on-fire Rawls? “I don’t think we’re No. 1 in any categories at all”.
The Seahawks are ranked first in the league in rushing yards per game with 148.6 and tenth in total offense. The Pittsburgh Steelers are not yet ghosts’ and judging from past their experiences they have no fear of the living or the dead.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had a welcomed week off last week as the team was on their bye. DeAngelo Williams is averaging 5.0 yards per carry.
There is one constant through out this whole season, and that would be the best wide receiver in the National Football League, Antonio Brown.
The Seahawks are a. 500 team, but remain a tough matchup.
The Steelers have gotten back on track despite injuries this season to key players on both sides of the ball. They’ve also developed a reputation as a hard-hitting group. The Legion of Boom has not been able to shut down the top throwers.
The Steelers remained the fifth seed in the conference with the Buffalo Bills (5-4) as the sixth seed entering their game at New England on Monday night. The Steelers are ranked 28 against the pass. Jess, your Seahawks-themed dream journal is going to have to make another entry in the loss section. Unfortunately for the Steelers, Scobee single-handedly lost a game against the Ravens when he missed two field goals in the final five minutes.
While it’d be sweet to say that the Steelers could glide to the Super Bowl if they make the playoffs, it’s not that easy. But here’s the thing: Even in their handful of wins, Seattle’s offense hasn’t looked quite right all year – until last Sunday. Over their last five games, the Seahawks have records of 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS. With the confidence and momentum they’ve gained, I expect Wilson, Rawls, and Co. will take full advantage of the weaknesses in the Steelers’ defense.
On the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers average 258.8 yards in passing and 126.1 yards in rushing. With Rawls having a big day, Russell Wilson was another player that had a big day at the office. Prediction: Seahawks 27, Steelers 20.
After he gave me his great, great, great grandfather’s recipe, (I suspect he got the recipe from the internet) he insisted upon talking about his and Snoop Dogg’s favorite National Football League squad the Pittsburgh Steelers. I’m 7-3 on the season.
“That’s all I’ve heard is it’s the loudest place”, Ben said.
What he got wrong: Not much.

The Steelers have faced lots of adversity this year, yet hold their own playoff fate through 11 weeks. I did say that last week’s contest was between a team that wasn’t very good (49ers) and one that wasn’t playing as well as it can (Seahawks). The one thing we do no is that if they sweep their final six games, they are in. Roethlisberger and Miller have a history of finding a way to create magic when given the opportunity and if Seattle once again shows an inability to cover the tight ends, Miller could have a spectacular game on Sunday.
