Russell Wilson throws a bullet into the end zone for Doug Baldwin to take a 7-3 lead against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The undrafted wide receiver out of Stanford got wide open for the first touchdown of the game against a susceptible Steelers secondary, giving the Seattle Seahawks a 7-3 lead. This came moments after a trick play from the Steelers went horribly wrong when Pittsburgh backup quarterback Landry Jones threw a pass straight into the arms of Cornerback Jeremy Lane and ran it back for 40 yards before tripping up.

Russell Wilson has now thrown 14 touchdown passes this season. Coming into this game, Doug Baldwin had 44 receptions in 10 games for 539 yards and a 12.3 yards per catch average. He has now scored four touchdowns this season.

It has been a rather up and down season for the Seahawks so far with some big wins as well as a few bad losses (cough cough *Rams* cough). Despite the fact that they have already lost more games this season than they had all of last season, they remain firmly in the playoff race with a 5-5 record. It is now make-or-break time and a win against another potential playoff team in the Steelers would do plenty for their playoff chances.
