NFL 2015 Season: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Seattle Seahawks, Preview, Prediction & Predicted Lineup

Seattle Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls (#34).

Fresh from a bye week and a two-game winning streak, the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) will take on the mercurial Seattle Seahawks (5-5) at the CenturyLink Field on Sunday, November 29 for a 2015 NFL season Week 12 matchup.

The Steelers routed the Cleveland Browns, 30-9, at the Heinz Field on November 15 for their second win in a row before resting for Week 11, as per ESPN.

Quarterback Landry Jones started the game for Pittsburgh but sprained his left ankle midway through the opening quarter, which allowed resident starter Ben Roethlisberger to enter the contest.

Roethlisberger, who ironically is still nursing a sprained left foot, had a superb night, throwing 22-of-33 for 379 yards and three touchdowns en route to the lopsided victory.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks blasted the Colin Kaepernick-less San Francisco 49ers, 29-13, last Sunday at their home stadium, via the Seattle Times.

Running back Thomas Rawls ran for 209 yards and received for 46 more to post two touchdowns while quarterback Russell Wilson had an almost perfect passing performance, going 24-of-29 for 260 yards and three touchdown passes to lead Seattle to the impressive win.

With the momentum of their previous victory and the support of their home crowd, Wilson and the Seahawks are favored to win this highly-anticipated matchup to snap Pittsburgh's winning run.

Prediction: Seahawks win, 35-31.
