Match preview

The Seattle Seahawks will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in a battle of two 2-3 clubs.

The big news is that Seattle will be missing quarterback Russell Wilson, who injured his finger in last week’s loss to the Rams. They are also without first-choice running back Chris Carson after he was moved to injured reserve with a neck issue on Friday.

The Steelers have their own injury concerns as JuJu Smith-Schuster will miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury he suffered last week against Denver.

Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger needs all the help he can get these days as he looks a shell of his former self this season.

Roethlisberger has thrown for only 300 yards once this year which used to be a normal occurrence for him – although he will be helped by arguably the worst Seattle defence in recent memory.

The Seahawks have given up more than 30 points twice in five games and at least 21 in four of their five outings.

Seattle clearly aren’t the team that they once were – especially against the ball – so the best play could be to back the Steelers on the handicap given they perhaps have greater potential.

Key stat

Russell Wilson will miss his first start in 149 straight games.
