Seattle @ Pittsburgh
Current Records: Seattle 2-3; Pittsburgh 2-3
What to Know
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Seattle Seahawks at 8:20 p.m. ET Oct. 17 at Heinz Field. Pittsburgh should still be feeling good after a win, while Seattle will be looking to get back in the win column.
The Steelers beat the Denver Broncos 27-19 last week. Among those leading the charge for Pittsburgh was RB Najee Harris, who rushed for one TD and 122 yards on 23 carries. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Harris has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.
Meanwhile, Seattle came up short against the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday, falling 26-17. The losing side was boosted by WR DK Metcalf, who caught five passes for two TDs and 98 yards.
Pittsburgh is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.
The Steelers’ victory brought them up to 2-3 while the Seahawks’ defeat pulled them down to an identical 2-3. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Pittsburgh ranks first in the league when it comes to rushing touchdowns allowed, with only one on the season. Less enviably, Seattle is stumbling into the matchup with the most yards allowed per game in the NFL, having given up 450.8 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Seattle.
