Poor run defense puts Seahawks' playoff hopes in doubt

SEATTLE -- Early in the fourth quarter on Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris bounced a run play off the left tackle and then sent Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen airborne with a devastating stiff arm. What could have been a tackle for loss instead resulted in an eight-yard gain, extending a drive that would end in a field goal and a seven-point Steelers lead.

The ignominious moment would have been the obvious choice for the play that best epitomized the Seahawks' defensive performance in their 30-23 defeat at Lumen Field if there weren't a few other doozies to choose from.
