Veteran quarterback Geno Smith returned from an injury, completing 25 of 36 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns.

Why the Steelers can cover
Pittsburgh is coming off one of its best performances of the season, cruising to a 34-11 win over Cincinnati last week. Mason Rudolph made his first start of the campaign, completing 17 of 27 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Kenny Pickett is still dealing with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable, so Rudolph might start again on Sunday.
Running back Najee Harris is coming off a solid performance as well, rushing 19 times for 78 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver George Pickens caught four passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns, scoring on plays of 86 yards and 66 yards. The Steelers have won four of the last six meetings between these teams, and Seattle has only covered the spread twice in its last seven games in Week 17. See which team to pick here.
