The Pittsburgh Steelers put on a dominant performance against the Seattle Seahawks defense on Sunday, thanks in large part to their powerful ground attack. Led by running back James Conner, the Steelers ran for a total of 195 yards and two touchdowns, while quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns.
The Steelers’ offensive line was able to open up holes for Conner to run through, and he took advantage of them, rushing for 109 yards on 19 carries. His longest run of the day was a 34-yarder that set up a touchdown. He also added a touchdown reception, giving him three total touchdowns on the day.
Roethlisberger was also able to take advantage of the running game, as he had plenty of time in the pocket to find open receivers. He completed 25 of 33 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions. He spread the ball around, connecting with seven different receivers on the day.
The Steelers defense also played a big role in the victory, holding the Seahawks to just 13 points. They forced two turnovers, including an interception by safety Minkah Fitzpatrick that set up a touchdown. They also sacked Russell Wilson four times and held the Seahawks to just 3.3 yards per carry.
The Steelers’ ground attack was the key to their victory over the Seahawks, as it allowed them to control the clock and keep the defense off the field. With Conner and Roethlisberger leading the way, the Steelers were able to put together a dominant performance that will be hard to replicate.
