The Seahawks suffered another frustrating loss at home yesterday, this time against the Steelers – and this time dealing a potentially fatal blow to their playoff hopes. Now they need to beat the Cardinals in Week 18 and hope the Bears upset the Packers, otherwise they’ll be going home early again.
Here’s what Pete Carroll and a few Seattle players had to say to the media after their loss to Pittsburgh.
