What you need to know about Lions
It was all tied 14-14 at halftime, but the Lions fell short in the second half when they met the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday. Detroit was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap as it fell 28-24 to Minnesota. Detroit’s loss came despite quality play from RB Jamaal Williams, who had two rushing touchdowns.
Williams will play a vital role in the Lions offense this week with Swift and St. Brown both sidelined. Detroit’s offense has been prolific in 2022, averaging 31.7 points and 419.7 total yards per game, including 170.3 rushing yards. One of the main reasons for Detroit’s offensive success has been the play of its offensive line, which is arguably the best unit in the NFL. Rookie defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was as good as advertised, becoming the favorite to win the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
What you need to know about the Seahawks
Meanwhile, Seattle was one late touchdown away from stealing the win, but ultimately suffered a 27-23 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Nobody had a standout game offensively for the Seahawks, but they got scores from WR DK Metcalf and TE Will Dissly. Smith ended up with a passer rating of 145.2.
The Seahawks had major issues defending the rush in 2022, allowing 157 yards per game rushing — the third-worst number in the NFL. Similarly, Seattle has had some issues establishing its rushing game on the offensive side of the ball, averaging a paltry 74.7 rushing yards per game (fourth-worst in the league). For the Seahawks to earn a road win over Detroit in Week 4, they’ll need to reverse those trends.
