After a rocky performance in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, it seemed like it might take some time for the Seattle Seahawks’ new offense under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to mesh properly. It’s understandable, especially considering quarterback Sam Darnold was a new variable as well.
With a cross-country trip to Pittsburgh waiting on the other side, plenty of football fans on the national scale assumed, incorrectly, that the Steelers’ defense would right their Week 1 wrongs at Seattle’s expense. While early turnovers pointed toward that outcome, by the end of the game, Kubiak’s squad had put together a full performance and picked up the win.
