His % was a tad low but there were a lot of times he was rushed, a lot of dropped passes. I still think it was a successful QB performance.

Stats don't show the whole picture in football. He was moving the ball and a combination of legit and non-legit penalties defused the scoring total.
Based on all I read about for the past two weeks about how Pittsburg would completely shut down the Seattle offense, I'd say he had a pretty good game. It is kind of ironic that the thing that finally put Seattle over the hump this year (receivers holding onto the ball) was a big part of why they lost this game.
