This article was originally published on www.si.com/nfl/seahawks as Seahawks score jaw-dropping special teams TD vs. Steelers. The Seattle Seahawks are making some noise against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half.
A huge play on special teams helped turn the tide as the Seattle Seahawks beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Seattle’s coaches are managing injuries trying to win Sunday with having a division game four days later, next week at Arizona.
The Seahawks may have to try Sunday to snap their recent home losing skid without three-fifths of their projected starting secondary and half of their starting running back platoon.
One stat that may speak to the difference between these teams is quarterbacks’ average per attempt. Darnold is averaging 7.9 yards per attempt and Rattler 5.3. Doesn’t sound like much of a difference but how often does a possession come up 2-3 yards short of moving the chains?
The Seattle Seahawks received a much-needed breakout game from Kenneth Walker III in their Week 2 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sam Darnold helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to their first win of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
