While the New England Patriots are not necessarily a pass-happy offense even with Tom Brady under center—they have always been adaptable to their opponents and have been able to run the ball liberally if it’s what worked best—facing the Seattle Seahawks will be a different challenge for the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.
The Seahawks may have Russell Wilson, but they still run the ball. In fact, they had more touches on the ground than in the passing game during their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
