Seahawks vs Steelers live stream is here: How to watch Sunday Night Football online

Thes Seahawks vs Steelers live stream tonight features a Seattle team in unfamiliar territory as they try to find their way without Russell Wilson. 

New Year’s Day 2012, Tarvaris Jackson started at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. Since then, 149 games have passed and Russell Wilson started every one of them. This Sunday will be very different for the Seahawks as the 32-year-old quarterback will miss a game for the first time in his 10 seasons. Wilson ruptured a tendon and fractured a bone in the middle finger of his throwing hand in week five’s loss to the Rams. He underwent surgery and is expected to miss six to eight weeks.

Geno Smith will start for the Seahawks (2-3) in Wilson’s absence. Smith was a second round pick in the 2013 draft and has gone 12-19 as a starter, but has predominantly been a back up in his career. He played the entire fourth quarter in last week’s loss to the Rams engineering two scoring drives. His first one went 98 yards and was capped off when he hit D.K. Metcalf in the end zone on a 23-yard score.

The Steelers (2-3) finally were able to put together a game that was more befitting their reputation last week, as they beat the Broncos 27-19. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 253 yards and a two touchdowns in the win, while Chase Claypool caught five passes for 130 yards and a touchdown.
