Bothteams were held scoreless on their first two possessions. But on Seattle’sensuing drive, Darrell Jackson caught a 16-yard touchdown only to have itcalled back because of offensive pass-interference. This forced theSeahawks to settle for a 47-yard field goal by Josh Brown with 0:22 left inthe first quarter. Closing the half, Pittsburgh converted a 3rd-and-28 with a37-yard catch by Hines Ward, which helped set up Ben Roethlisberger’s 1yard score. The Steelers led 7-3 at halftime before scoring on the secondplay from scrimmage to start the second half as Willie Parker ran right for75-yards and a touchdown.

Three plays later Jerramy Stevens caught a16-yard touchdown from Matt Hasselbeck to pull the Seahawks within 14-10. The Seahawks were on the verge of scoring again when Sean Locklear’sholding penalty erased an 18-yard catch by Stevens that would have left theSeahawks at the Pittsburgh 1-yard line.
