Not only did the Seattle Seahawks spoil the Pittsburgh Steelers’ home opener at Acrisure Stadium with a decisive 31-17 win, but they stepped all over one of the city’s most cherished traditions on their way out. Renegade is a staple of any home Steelers game, and it normally leads to good things for the defense. But Seattle came prepared and stole the advantage right out from under Pittsburgh.
“That’s our song,” Seahawks DT Leonard Williams said via The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar.
Renegade normally works as a force multiplier for the Steelers, but Kaleb Johnson’s critical error that gave up a free touchdown on kick return had happened just minutes earlier.
