The final score read 31-17, but that number did not capture what happened at Acrisure Stadium on September 14, 2025. Seattle outscored Pittsburgh 24-3 in the second half, Sam Darnold shook off two first-quarter interceptions to finish with 295 passing yards and two touchdowns, and Kenneth Walker III posted 105 rushing yards to hand Aaron Rodgers a rough home debut in a Steelers uniform.

The numbers from September 14, 2025 told a straightforward story: Pittsburgh’s defense, which had allowed 395 yards in back-to-back weeks to open the 2025 season, had no answer for a Seattle offense that averaged 6.2 yards per play and converted 43 percent of its third downs. Darnold’s 89.8 passer rating — achieved despite two picks — reflected how cleanly he operated once the first half ended, and Walker’s 8.1 yards per carry on 13 carries made the game’s closing stages academic. For the Steelers, Aaron Rodgers’ 58.0 passer rating in his home debut and a rushing attack held to 72 yards on 21 carries was a performance the 2025 Pittsburgh offense would spend the rest of the season trying to answer.
