Lions vs Seahawks

In week 8, the Lions hosted the Seattle Seahawks. After losing a close game to the Chicago the previous week on Monday night football, the Lions were looking to come out and play a complete game.The Seahawks have been a surprise team this year defeating formidable opponents such as Green Bay and New England. Seattle started the scoring with a 23-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka. The Lions then took the lead when Ryan Broyles caught a 6 yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford. In the second quarter, the Seahawks scored 2 consecutive touchdowns: first with a Marshawn Lynch 77-yard run, then with a Sidney Rice 9-yard catch from Russell Wilson. The Lions responded with a Titus Young 46-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford. After a scoreless third quarter, the Lions took the lead back when Matthew Stafford ran in a touchdown from 1 yard out. Seattle went up by 3 points with a Zach Miller 16-yard catch from Russell Wilson. The Lions' Titus Young then scored the game-winning touchdown with 1-yard pass from Matthew Stafford. This win was a great confidence booster for the Lions and helped their cause to fighting for that wild card playoff spot. There is a lot of work ahead to be done, but with focus on the details, the Lions have a great chance at turning the season around. The next test for the Lions is against the Jacksonville Jaguars who have been struggling this year to play full games. The Detroit Lions need to come out and win the game handily!
