00:03 One of the later games, Pittsburgh Steelers knock off the Seattle Seahawks.
00:08 In Seattle, real good win, 30-23.
00:11 How about that? Mason Rudolph coming off the bench is now 2-0.
00:15 Steeler fans saying, "Where's he been all year?"
00:18 The offense, forget about firing the offensive coordinator.
00:22 Forget, you should fire the two quarterbacks or the people that decided that Rudolph shouldn't be playing.
00:29 Throws for 274 yards, no touchdown passes, but he was throwing the football.
00:33 He was moving the ball up and down the field.
00:36 This offense, 30 points, that's about four games worth over the earlier part of the season for Pittsburgh.
00:43 And then Geno Smith, big fumble, late in the game, down to score.
00:47 He fumbles the football, that really cost Seattle any chance of them recovering.
00:51 But this was a Steeler win, basically Joe, from start to finish.
00:55 Najee Harris rushes for 122 yards, and it still is improved to 9-7, and they stay alive.
01:02 Seattle still is alive, but for all intents and purposes is done.
01:06 But more importantly for Pittsburgh, they certainly stay alive in the race for the last wild card spot.
01:12 Yeah, I'm blown away that the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to get this win.
01:16 I thought this was a slam dunk on the Seattle Seahawks at home to be able to get things done in this one.
01:22 Look at what the defense was able to do of the Steelers, especially limiting the Seahawks on their third down,
01:29 not allowing them to convert. They only converted 33% of their third downs.
01:34 This was a great game for the Steelers, and I'm just completely speechless that they were able to get it done like this.
01:41 Mason Rudolph playing phenomenal, but you also look at the rushing game here of the Steelers.
01:45 They put up 202 rushing yards in this one, Scott. They just played a fantastic game out there on the field.
01:52 Yeah, two things. One, if you had the over Steelers 8-1/2, you actually won that bet.
01:59 And two, this is now the 20th straight year. It wasn't looking good there for Mike Tomlin,
02:04 but this is his 20th straight non-losing season as they improved to 9-7.
02:10 So, looked great when they were 7-4, then it didn't look good when they fell to 7-7,
02:15 but they've been able to turn it around and win these last two, so at least he keeps that streak alive.
02:20 And then obviously more importantly, they remain alive for that last playoff spot that we'll break down here in a second.
