The Pittsburgh Steelers return to action after a week off, out on the west coast to face off against the defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks. The NFC Super Bowl representatives two years running are not quite having the encore season they were hoping for, but have been trending upward recently.
The Steelers have been trending upward as well, riding a two-game winning streak prior to their bye, and have gotten healthy over the break. No players are out for this game due to injury, which is certainly a welcome change of pace. Of note is that rookie first-round outside linebacker Bud Dupree is in line to make his first career start.
