Coming into this game, the initial concern was the offensive line. Troy Fautanu was recovering from a knee injury. Zack Frazier was making his first NFL start at center. Broderick Jones had played poorly in preseason games. And guard Isaac Seumalo was out with a pectoral injury. Then the quarterback situation turned murky late in the week. Russell Wilson reinjured his calf, Mike Tomlin’s decision on who to start delayed until the morning of the game.
I had fewer concerns on defense. Mainly who would be the nickel cornerback?
But I had a nagging concern on special teams.
