Week 2 contributor explanations
“The Steelers were humiliated by the Patriots on opening weekend, though they have some things that certainly need to be figured out, week one’s blowout loss was likely a wakeup call for Mike Tomlin and company. The Seahawks are traveling from the west coast to Pittsburgh for a 1:00 PM game. I think Pittsburgh takes this one at home.”- Tommy Jaggi
“Pittsburgh will be hungry after losing to New England. They will need to win this game if they want to stay in the thick of the AFC North Race. The Seahawks are a good team, but I think they fall short to the Steelers.”- Edward Hunt
“The Steelers have been great against the Seahawks in Heinz field thus far. With a motivated team to prove the blow out in Foxborough was a sham. I expect every aspect of this team to be sharp and win with a close game since the Seahawks are another talented opponent.” – Ryan Pawloski
“Despite a tough loss against the Pats, Pittsburgh will win the home opener. The game will be close, but we will pull it out at the end on a game-winning TD drive.”- Eric Hassel
“The mess we saw in Foxboro that was ‘supposed’ to be a Pittsburgh team can hardly be fixed in a week. As a result, this would be a good match-up except for continued Steelers coverage breakdowns, dropped passes by receivers, and missed blocking assignments. I expect the Seahawks to score at least one more TD than the Steelers, who will be kicking field goals instead, hence the four-point margin.”- James Perry Kelly
“Pittsburgh needs a bounce-back game, and they are coming home to deliver just that. Seattle is tough, but Pittsburgh knows they have to win to rectify last week. They’ll come out hungry and get the home win.”- Brandon Kring
“Huge win. If I’m a betting man, I’m taking the over. Moncrief with a huge bounce-back game and Samuels has a larger than expected role – Conner dealing with illness. D.K. Metcalf is the highlight of the Seattle offense.”- Mike O’Brien
“Pittsburgh will come out more focused and not overwhelmed by prime time—more importantly, they’ll be in front of their home crowd. The Steelers know it is important to bounce back and will do so.”- Jobe Morrison
