Unfortunately, Jimmy Graham had to leave this game due to injury, but not before making this astounding grab. Jimmy Graham makes a ridiculous circus catch. It wasn't the best plan, particularly out of the timeout, but it helped give the Seahawks some momentum, so thank you, Mike Tomlin.Ģ.

The Seahawks have been burned by Steelers trickery before (no, I'm not linking to that play, we know what happened), but not this time.

The Seattle offense was strong, although many would have liked to see a few more carries for Rawls, especially when things weren't going as well in the first half. The defense continued to allow Roethlisberger and the Steeler offense to stick around thanks to blown coverages and missed/soft tackles, but was able to hold them to a field goal late in the game, which turned out to be a hugely important decision.Īll in all, it was a forgettable game for the Seattle defense, but it's also important to remember that the Steelers have one of the best offenses in the NFL, even without Le'Veon Bell. The second half would bring good things for Seattle, as they would put up 25 points thanks to three more Russell Wilson touchdown passes and a one-yard Thomas Rawls plunge. The Seattle certainly defense left a lot to be desired in the first half, though, as Ben Roethlisberger just ripped pass after pass through the secondary. Things would even out, however, with missed extra points and two-point conversions keeping the scoreline close and strange. It was a relatively quiet first quarter for both teams, despite the Steelers having dominated the eye-test. The teams traded blows all day long, and neither one tackled particularly well, but it was a ridiculously fun game to watch, overall. In a back and forth game that featured lead changes at every turn, the Seattle Seahawks were eventually able to triumph over the Pittsburgh Steelers by a final of 39-30.
