"After Seattle took a 17-14 lead early in the quarter on a 54-yard Jason Myers field goal, Pittsburgh's Kaleb Johnson allowed Myers' kickoff to bounce over his head and into the end zone. As Johnson ran toward the Steelers sideline, apparently believing the play would be called dead, Seattle continued to cover the kick, and backup George Holani fell on the ball before it rolled out of the back of the end zone for a touchdown and 24-14 Seattle lead."
"It wasn't clear whether the ball touched Johnson's fingertips, in which case it would have been a muff. Officials initially ruled that Pittsburgh failed to cover the kick after it landed in the landing zone, which the return team is required to do as part of the league's new kickoff rule. After Pittsburgh answered that score with a field goal, the Seahawks found the end zone again, with Kenneth Walker III scoring on a third-and-19 run -- another wild moment in an eventful game."
Seattle rallied from a halftime deficit to defeat Pittsburgh 31-17, powered by a 17-point fourth quarter. A 54-yard Jason Myers field goal gave Seattle a 17-14 lead, and a kickoff mishap resulted in George Holani recovering the ball as it rolled out of the back of the end zone for a touchdown. Officials initially ruled Pittsburgh failed to cover the kick per the league's kickoff rule; it remained unclear whether the ball contacted returner Kaleb Johnson. Pittsburgh added a field goal before Kenneth Walker III scored on a third-and-19 run. Sam Darnold threw two first-half interceptions and later connected with AJ Barner and Tory Horton for touchdowns.
