The Seahawks bounced back from a season-opening loss in impressive fashion, beating the Steelers 31-17 in Pittsburgh behind strong play in all three phases of the game.

In addition to that final score, here are 12 numbers that help tell the story of Sunday's win:

7

Consecutive road wins for the Seahawks, dating back to last season, a franchise record.

14

Consecutive wins for the Steelers when leading at halftime coming into Sunday's game, a streak the Seahawks ended emphatically by outscoring Pittsburgh 24-3 after the break.

105

Rushing yards by Kenneth Walker III, giving him his first 100-yard game since Week 1 of last season. Walker needed just 13 carries to eclipse 100 yards, his lowest carry total in eight career 100-yard games. He also passed Maurice Morris for 10th-place on Seattle's all-time rushing yards list.

1.5

Sack by Byron Murphy II, which led the team and also eclipsed his sack total from his rookie season.

1

Touchdown scored by George Holani, the first of his career, with the score coming in unusual fashion when Holani recovered a kickoff in the end zone.

103

Receiving yards for Jaxon Smith-Njigba on eight catches, giving him two 100-yard games in as many weeks. Smith-Njigba currently ranks second in the NFL in receiving yards behind Giants receiver Malik Nabers.

192

Receiving yards for pass-catchers other than Jaxon Smith-Njigba, led by Cooper Kupp's 90 yards on seven catches. That's a big improvement for the Seahawks over last week when Smith-Njigba accounted for 124 of Seattle's 150 receiving yards.

42

Of Seattle's 62 defensive snaps played by Derion Kendrick, who took over nickel duties for an injured Devon Witherspoon. Kendrick, who Seattle claimed off waivers earlier this month, snagged his first interception as a Seahawk in the third quarter to give Seattle a crucial red zone stop.

4

Interceptions for the Seahawks defense in its first two games, with four different players getting in on the action: Ernest Jones IV and Josh Jobe last week, and Derion Kendrick and Coby Bryant this week. The Seahawks are currently tied for second in the league in interceptions, and their opponent passer rating of 76.6 ranks fourth.

6

Points scored by the Steelers, a pair of field goals, on nine possessions that started in their own territory. Pittsburgh's other 11 points came on drives that started in Seattle territory following Seahawks turnovers.

21

The length, in yards, of rookie receiver's Tory Horton's first career catch, which was also his first career touchdown. He became the 10th player in franchise history to record a touchdown on his first career catch, and first since tight end Tyler Mabry, who scored on his first, and to this point, only, career catch in Week 17 of the 2022 season.

7

Points scored by the Seahawks on their opening drive, the team's first opening-drive touchdown since the 2023 season.
