Sam Darnold struggled mightily against the 49ers last week. This week does not get any easier; he has to face the Steelers on Sunday

Bill Barnwell is expecting Rodgers and the quick-hitting Steelers offense to be a good bet in fantasy football this week.

That drop in fan confidence is similar to the time the Seahawks used one simple trick to destroy fan confidence during the 2023 season, but winning cures everything, so if Mike Macdonald and company can right the ship against Mike Tomlin’s crew, many of the shortcomings from Week 1 will be forgiven and forgotten.

The Seahawks made two expected moves Saturday, elevating safety D’Anthony Bell and nose tackle Brandon Pili from the practice squad.

The noise and the 12s and the beautiful building aren't exactly teaming up to make Lumen a definitive advantage for the Seahawks, however. They were 3-6 at home last year and a gaudy 7-1 on the road. Over the last four seasons, they are only 13-14 at Lumen.

Nick Emmanwori is out, and Witherspoon is doubtful, so Seattle elevated D’Anthony Bell from the practice squad to add secondary depth.

The Seahawks sent Metcalf to Pittsburgh for the 52nd pick and a swap of late-round selections after the Steelers agreed to sign him to a four-year, $132 million extension that included $80 million in guarantees.
