Bellingham, WASports

George Holani marked a milestone in his NFL career by scoring his first touchdown through a heads-up recovery of a kickoff blunder by Steelers' Kaleb Johnson, leading the Seahawks to a 31-17 victory on September 14. After a 54-yard field goal by Jason Myers, Johnson misjudged the kickoff, allowing Holani to secure the ball just before it crossed the end zone. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin criticized Johnson's decision-making during the play. Meanwhile, Seattle's Sam Darnold passed for 295 yards and two touchdowns, effectively bouncing back from two first-half interceptions. Kenneth Walker III contributed significantly with 105 rushing yards, including a critical touchdown that sealed the game.

The Seahawks outgained the Steelers 395 yards to 267, showcasing their offensive strength. Pittsburgh's defense struggled again, allowing Seattle to capitalize on their mistakes. This victory marked a significant rebound for the Seahawks after a loss in their season opener.
