Sehawks Lose Two Offensive Linemen vs. Steelers

The Seahawks offense has moved the ball well against the Steelers defense without their top four safeties and three linebackers, but the Seahawks offense is now facing a similar crisis. Starting right tackle Abe Lucas and starting center Evan Brown have both been ruled out for the rest of the game.

Lucas suffered a knee injury in the first half. Stone Forsythe has come into the game in relief. This Seahawks offense has moved the ball at will, but with T.J. Watt now facing the second-string right tackle, they will have to force even more help his way. Watt has pressured Geno Smith but his pocket movement has given them fits.

Brown is out with a concussion that will force rookie Olu Oluwatimi into the game. The rookie out of Michigan will be tested by Keeanu Benton and Montravius Adams at the nose tackle. While that becomes a concern for the Seahawks, Pittsburgh’s offense is starting to heat up.

The Steelers offense dominated the Seahawks defense on the ground in the first half, running for 145 yards on the half. Their yards per carry average, which is at six yards per carry, is brought down by quarterback sneaks by Mason Rudolph. In reality, the running backs are averaging over seven yards per carry at 7.1 yards per carry. They showed that up on their first drive of the second half with another touchdown drive, including a Najee Harris four-yard touchdown.
