Steelers-Seahawks NFL Week 2: What You Need To Know
The Steelers will try to bounce back from Sunday's embarrassing loss in New England.
PITTSBURGH, PA - The Steelers have a lot going for them in their home opener Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks - not the least of which is they can't possibly play much worse than they did in their Week 1 loss at New England.
The Seahawks also have has the disadvantage of having to fly across the country to play a game that starts at 10 a.m. Seattle time. The players might be more in the mood for brunch than a battle on the football field.
However, the Seahawks bring a 1-0 record to Heinz Field, having defeated the Cincinnati Bengals last week in a 21-20 nail-biter. They have one of the NFL's most dynamic quarterbacks in Russell Wilson. And they're still ticked off that the Steelers beat them in Super Bowl XL.
