Grading the Seahawks in their 23-20 OT loss to the Steelers | HeraldNet.com

Week 2 of the NFL season is here, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to welcome their fans back to Acrisure Stadium for the home opener against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Steelers opened their season with a wild 34–32 shootout win over the New York Jets, but the focus quickly shifts to Week 2 — and a storyline dominated by wide receiver DK Metcalf facing his former team for the first time since his trade to Pittsburgh.

What to Watch For

  • DK Metcalf’s Reunion Game
    Metcalf wasted no time making his presence felt in black and gold. Targeted seven times in Week 1, he caught four passes for 83 yards, showing off his trademark speed and yards-after-catch ability. Against Seattle, the added motivation of facing his old team could spark a breakout performance.
  • Steelers’ Run Defense Under Pressure
    Despite the Week 1 win, Pittsburgh’s run defense was exposed, surrendering 182 rushing yards. Linebacker Patrick Queen didn’t mince words afterward, calling the effort “absolute trash.” The Seahawks’ wide-zone attack and Kenneth Walker III will test that weakness again.
  • Key Defensive Pieces
    The Steelers need improvement from Keeanu Benton up front, while the return of Derrick Harmon could provide reinforcements. Veteran leader Cam Heyward is also expected to look sharper as he rounds back into form following a tumultuous offseason.

With Metcalf seeking revenge and the defense desperate to tighten up, the Steelers’ home opener carries both excitement and urgency. Pittsburgh will try to ride the energy of Acrisure Stadium to a 2–0 start in the AFC.

Chiefs Fan-Favourite WR Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is mourning a devastating personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin Justin Fuller, a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Rice, who grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose, has long credited that example with shaping his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Rashee that strength isn’t being unbreakable — it’s standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Rashee lives and plays today.” As a featured target in the Chiefs’ offense, Rice has earned complete trust for his short-to-intermediate separation, yards-after-catch power (YAC), and chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Coaches describe him as “calm, focused, and mature beyond his years,” a disciplined route-runner who finds tight windows in the red zone. Through Week 5 of the 2025 season, Rice has no registered game statistics as he serves a league-issued six-game suspension to start the regular season; major stat services list no 2025 game logs to date.  The Kansas City Chiefs have provided time and private support for Rice and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while messages commemorating “Spidey” continue to spread nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Rice kept his public remarks brief before leaving in the embrace of teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
