PITTSBURGH -- A lot has to go right for the 2-4 Seattle Seahawks to keep their sinking season afloat while quarterback Russell Wilson recovers from his finger injury.
They need their embattled defense to play like it did in the second half of Sunday night's 23-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers -- only with much more from their pass rush than the lone hit they managed against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger -- to avoid shootouts they're not equipped to win with Geno Smith at quarterback.
They need Smith to excel as a game manager and avoid the killer turnovers like his lost fumble in overtime at Heinz Field.
