Seattle Seahawks Blank the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-0 In Season Opener.

The visiting Steelers arrived at the Kingdome  prepared for a new season. Unfortunately, the Seahawks were more prepared.
  The Seahawks had a 1,2,3 punch. Curt Warner of the Seahawks played  a pivotal role in the game. He ran  for 21 carries 97 yards and 1 touchdown. Caught 5 passes   for 29 yards and 1 touchdown. Steve Largent  had  7 catches 98 yards 1 touchdown. Steve Krieg completed 19 of 29 for 200 yards, 2 TD and QB rating of 108.4 to top off the trio.
  The game was closer than it ended. The Steelers bright spot was the defense sacking Krieg 5 times for -33 yards. Walter Ambercrombie ran the ball 20 times for 74 yards and caught 5 passes for 63 yards.  Calvin Sweeney caught 5 passes for 76 yards no TD's. It seemed when the Steelers would get a good  drive going  Mark Malone would get picked off by the Seahawk secondary. It was a long afternoon for him attempting 37 passes completing 19 passes for 247 yards  and 3 interceptions. Ending the game with a dismal 38.9 QB percentage.
   The Seahawks are at home next week against the 0-1 Kansas City Chiefs, while the Steelers host John Elway and company, the Denver Broncos.  Good luck to everyone.
