Steelers edge Seahawks to clinch playoff berth
Eugene Robinson limited Barry Foster to 100 yards as Foster sealed a 20-14 win for Pittsburgh. Despite five interceptions and a broken leg scare for Neil O'Donnell, Barry Foster's 4-yard TD with 2:22 left gave the Steelers a crucial victory. Seattle's offense struggled, missing three field goals, while John Kasay misfired on all three attempts. The win improves Pittsburgh to 10-3, locking up at least a wild-card and keeping home-field playoff dreams alive.
