The Seahawks have apparently used up all of their dramatic comeback win cards for the season. Sunday’s loss to the Steelers should be a sobering wakeup call for a team that had an all-time terrible tackling performance. In that part of the game, only off-ball linebacker Devin Bush showed any real promise – and his PFF grade reflects that. Seattle’s defense also got strong efforts from Leonard Williams and Jarran Reed up front and Riq Woolen outside. The rest of it was pretty ugly on that side of the ball, though.
Offensively, a familiar theme played out. While his numbers may not match what he did against Dallas, this was the third straight start for Geno Smith where he was under significant pressure by the opponent’s pass rush and still put together an incredibly impressive performance. Geno’s over-80 grade along with a solid game from the tight ends led the offense.
