Seahawks vs. Steelers: 3 things to watch for in Seattle's matchup with Pittsburgh

Seahawks and Steelers. Another Super Bowl XL rematch. Let’s do this.

Tyler Lockett

Last week against the 49ers, the Seattle rookies stole the show. Thomas Rawls totaled more than 250 yards from scrimmage and Tyler Lockett caught four passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns. Lockett, just as he had done earlier in the season, took advantage of the Niners' secondary.

Despite featuring a young, powerful defensive line – Pittsburgh doesn’t field the strongest secondary. As Brian Nemhauser points out, the Pittsburgh defense is 28th in opponent completion percentage, 21st in YPA, 28th in pass yards, and 23rd in yards per play.
