It was evident early on that the Steelers were going to be aggressive against the Seattle Seahawks. On their first drive, Pittsburgh had gotten the ball into Seattle territory and faced a fourth-and-five. Instead of punting, Tomlin kept the offense on the field, where Mason Rudolph launched a deep ball to George Pickens, which was broken up and played well by Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen.
That didn’t deter the Steelers, though. On third-and-six with 11:35 in the fourth quarter, Mason Rudolph uncorked a deep pass to George Pickens, who made the diving grab and picked up 34 yards in the process.
