As I had hoped, both teams’ passing attacks were on full display, with Russell Wilson and the Seahawks emerging victorious despite a 456-yard day from Ben Roethlisberger.

Season 6, Episode 54 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this show, with co-host David Todd back in the saddle on this Monday, we have quite a bit to talk about following the Pittsburgh Steelers 39-30 road loss on Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are not known for their passing offense, but Wilson has often been an efficient quarterback and above-average leader for the Seahawks. “We’re going to do what’s appropriate and take care of our guys”.
Colts 25, Buccaneers 12: Matt Hasselbeck threw for 315 yards and two touchdowns, and Adam Vinatieri made four more field goals for the Colts.
Coaching- When will Mike Tomlin stop playing video game football and just take the points when they are presented to him? Wilson hit on his final six pass attempts of the game, three of them for touchdowns. Roethlisberger had taken the Steelers 71 yards in 14 plays, but Tomlin opted for a third field goal from Chris Boswell rather than the chance at a TD and taking the lead.
The downside for Seattle was the loss of tight end Jimmy Graham for the season to a patellar tendon injury in his right knee that will require surgery. Graham hopped gamely onto a motorized cart with an air cast over the majority of his right leg.
“Everybody loves him”, Willson said. Wide receiver Markus Wheaton became the fourth player in franchise history to reach 200 receiving yards in a single game, joining Antonio Brown (284), Plaxico Burress (253) and Buddy Dial (235). Sherman had one interception – and another that didn’t count in the standings on a failed two-point conversion – while Brown caught six passes for 51 yards.
“Happy Birthday To The Most Loving, Caring, and Selfless Man I Know”, she wrote.
-Cornerback Cary Williams was a healthy scratch for Seattle after starting the first 10 games of the season.
“Sometimes it bounces your way”, Sherman said, “sometimes it doesn’t”. Johnny Manziel threw for 379 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
A week ago, the Steelers (6-5) were projected as highly as making the playoffs in 55 percent of scenarios.
The Steelers’ problem is their poor record within the AFC, which is the first two-team tiebreaker for Wild Card spots. “I just tried to put one up and that guy made a great play on the ball”, Jones said.
The Steelers fell to the Seahawks on Sunday, and Ben Roethlisberger’s day ended early when he left the field with a suspected concussion.
Seattle came right back down the field to score on a 30-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Baldwin. ESPN’s Dianna Marie Russini reports that Gronkowski’s injury is “not as bad as it looked”, but it’s uncertain at this point whether or not he’ll suit up for the Patriots’ game this Sunday against the Eagles.
In a span of 4 minutes, 5 seconds, the two teams combined for three touchdowns in the fourth. And the Hawk offense converted third-and-long time after time – Baldwin’s 80-yard game clincher came on third-and-10 – to frustrate the Steelers.

The Seahawks have their mojo back, and a third straight berth in the Super Bowl isn’t out of the question after their impressive 39-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at CenturyLink Field. The playoffs are in clear sight for the ‘Hawks and the team did a lot for its destiny by knocking off the Steelers.
