Seahawks 29 - 42 Lions summary, stats, scores and highlights | NFL Week 4

After the Seahawks came up with a safety right before the Two Minute Warning, Seattle tried to make a miracle comeback late on but Kirby Joseph put an end to that with an interception in the end zone to close out a thriller from Ford Field. 

Both teams end Week 4 at 3-1, and both teams showed they are worthy of their record to this point of the season. Detroit will have a BYE next week and the Seahawks will take on the Giants next week. 

Goff completed his perfect night with the game sealing TD toss to Amon'Ra St. Brown who did a tap dance in the end zone to make the catch and then did a little tap dance to celebrate the TD. Goff ended the night with 292 yards and 2 TDs on 18/18 passing, and oh yea, he had a receiving TD as well. 

The Seahawks came into the game with a lot of people questioning their first three wins. This loss might have said more than any or all of those three win. They hung with a really good Lions team, and continued to go toe to toe despite trailing big early. Kenneth Walker finished the game with 80 yards and three TDs on 12 carries after going to half with just 6 yards. 

On the very next play from scrimmage the Seahawks brought the blitz and Goff sat in the pocket and found Jameson Williams for this 70 yard TD catch and run to take a two possession lead late in the 3rd quarter. Williams led the Lions in receiving yards with 80 yards on 2 catches. 

Every time it seemed like the Lions were going to pull away, the Seahawks came up with an answer in a game that turned into a shootout in the final 30 minutes. Kenneth Walker III came back from injury after missing the previous two games and had three TDs, this was the second of his three to bring SEA within 8 after the two point conversion failed. 

We saw the hook and ladder last week in Arizona, and this week the LIons dig into their bag of tricks inside the 10 to get Jared Goff what he called his first TD catch ever. Goff was perfect on the night, going 18/18 which might have been done in NFL history, but I can guarantee that none of those QBs caught a TD pass in their perfect games. 

On the play after the Seahawks TD, Montgomery had the bulldozing catch and run over the Seattle defense that went for 40 yards and took the wind out of the sails of the Seahawks.

On the first drive of the second half, the Seahawks went to Walker a handful of times and that opened up the passing game. Geno Smith found the rookie AJ Barner for his first TD of his young career, and just like that Seattle was back in the game. 

Gibbs punched in his second TD of the night on another long, time consuming drive that put the Lions up 14 and at that point it looked like DET might run away with this game. They were in complete control, and keeping tabs on Seattle's offense on the other end. 

Kenneth Walker had just 6 yards in the first half, but got into the end zone for the Seahawks first score of the night. He would get more involved in the second half and that would change the game for Seattle who saw their offense turn on after the halftime break. 

A few plays after the fumble recovery it was Gibbs getting into the end zone from a few yards out on the first play of the second quarter. 

DK Metcalf had a big night catching the ball, going for 104 yards on 7 catches, but the one mistake he had on the night was trying to do too much on this first down catch late in the first quarter. He was fighting for more yards when Jack Campbell knocked the ball out of Metcalf's hands and Carlton Davis III took it all the way back inside the SEA 20. 

The Detroit Lions knocked off one of the last remaining undefeated teams in a shootout from Ford Field. Jared Goff had a perfect night passing and even added a TD reception in the 42-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks. 

The Lions got on the board first after a 12 play, 93 yard drive that was polished off by David Montgomery who combined with Jahmyr Gibbs for 50+ yards on the opening scoring drive of the night.

Black out the Motor City

You know it’s a big night when the Lions bring out the black and blue jerseys for a primetime showdown. The Lions released the black jerseys back in 1948, and brought back the classic look for a couple seasons in the early 2000s. The special jerseys always have a way of injecting a little extra fire and a little extra juice throughout the squad. The Ravens wore their black out jerseys on Sunday night football, and look how it turned out for them. Ford Field is always amped, but on Monday night, with the black jerseys, it’s going to be like a playoff game in Detroit. 

Megatron night at Ford Field

It’s a big night in Detroit, and not just because Monday Night Football is in the house. Calvin Johnson was one of the most dominant receivers the game has ever seen, and he will be honored at Ford Field tonight. The man they called Megatron played all of his nine NFL seasons in Detroit, where he had seven 1,000 yard receiving years including his record breaking year in 2012 in which he set the single season record with 1,964 yards. He and Matthew Stafford were one of the most exciting QB/WR tandems in the league, but they never had a team around them to make the Lions a real contender. Things are different in Detroit these days. He still looks like he could suit up and run a few deep routes for Goff. 

KWIII back for Seahawks

The Seahawks are 3-0 after the first three games of the season, and maybe one of the most surprising things about their perfect start to the year is they have done so without their starting running back Kenneth Walker III for the last two weeks. KWIII suffered an oblique injury in the Seahawks Week 1 win over the Broncos. In that time Zach Charbonnay has carried the load, going for 141 yards and three TDs on 40 carries with another 76 yards receiving. Tonight the Seahawks will have both of their top rushers in the backfield, and they will need them against this stingy Lions defense. 

Star watch: Seahawks 

There are some plays that truly incredible players make that make you drop your jaw in awe of how physically gifted a player is. They are surrounded by the greatest athletes in the world, but some are just a cut above. That’s the case with DK Metcalf who has been Geno Smith’s top target over the last few years. In the last two weeks Metcalf has taken two different passes for 50+ yard TDs, and is proving to be one of the best deep targets in the game. He’s got 262 yards on 17 receptions, but half of those yards have come for his two long TD catches. 

Star watch: Lions

The Lions had the second pick in the NFL draft back in 2022, and placed all of their faith on a local kid who dominated the college ranks at the University of Michigan. Aiden Hutchinson has quickly turned into one of the best pass rushers in the game, with many comparing him to some of the greats. He is in season three of his young career, and he already has 27.5 sacks. He had 11.5 in his sophomore season and in the first three games of this year, he’s got 6.5 QB sacks. Names like Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor get floated around when talking about Hutchinson, and for a pass rusher that is the highest honor you could ask for. 

Season recap: Lions

The Lions started their season on Monday Night football against the LA Rams, and despite a heroic effort from Matthew Stafford, Detroit was able to close the game out in overtime thanks to a David Montgomery TD on the first drive of the extra session. They would host the Bucs in the next game, and outgain Tampa Bay 463-216, but the Lions went 1/7 in the red zone and Baker Mayfield downed Detroit with a TD scramble in the 3rd quarter which gave the Bucs a 20-16 lead with a quarter of an hour to go. Goff and the Lions responded with a narrow win over the Cardinals last week, but they are quickly finding out they are getting everyone’s best shot every week. That’s what happens when you are tabbed to be one of the top teams in the league. 

Season recap: Seahawks

There have been a handful of surprises around the league in the first four weeks of the season. Teams we though were supposed to be really good have started slowly, and teams we didn’t think much of have jumped out to incredible starts. Seattle is one of those teams that have been a pleasant surprise starting the season 3-0, but just how much stock do we take into their perfect record? They beat a Denver team with a rookie QB making his NFL debut. They beat a New England team that had half of their offensive line missing, and then crushed the Dolphins who couldn’t move the ball with Tua sidelined. 

Last game: Lions

It was far from a perfect game for Detroit, who went into Arizona and controlled the Cardinals from the opening drive. David Montgomery put the Lions up with a TD from a yard out on a day in which he went for 105 yards and a TD, and Jared Goff had a couple of first half TD passes including a hook and ladder play that went for a touchdown at the end of the first half to put DET up 20-7. The 13 point cushion was all the Lions defense need to shut down Kyler Murray and the Cardinals offense as Detroit got back into the win column in Week 3. 

Tonight's odds  

The Seahawks are undefeated, but they come into tonight as 4.5 point underdogs at Ford Field tonight. The Over/Under is set at 47, so points are expected despite the Lions offense not hitting full stride just yet. 

Under the bright lights in Detroit, I think the Lions unleash the full fury of their offense tonight. Their defense has been doing the dirty work for the first three weeks of the season, but tonight Goff, St Brown and their running back duo of Montgomery and Gibbs turn it on during primetime and win this game easily. 

Lions win 26-12. 

Last game: Seahawks 

Seattle hosted a Dolphins team who were with out Tua Tagovailoa last week, and the defense shut the Miami offense down without their leader of the orchestra under center. The Seahawks jumped all over the Dolphins in the first 15 minutes thanks to Zach Charbonnet’s four yard run, and then a 71 yard TD connection from Geno Smith to DK Metcalf. Miami back up Skylar Thompson was knocked out of the game, and the Miami offense went from stagnant to non existent as the Seahawks eased to their third straight win of the season. 

We are live from Ford Field

Hello everyone and welcome to the Motor City where the Lions are back home after a tough road trip to the desert in which the offense still wasn’t flowing but the defense did enough to hold off the Cardinals. It’s been a constant problem to start the season, but the Detroit defense has taken charge and led the Lions in the first tree weeks of the campaign. Tonight they have a difficult match up against one of the most surprising teams of the young season in the Seahawks. The Mike Macdonald era is off to a perfect from Seattle after a fairly breezy schedule in the opening three weeks, but tonight they will be put to the test against a Lions team that are a contender in the NFC for the first time in a long time. 

Seahawks vs. Lions

One of the last remaining undefeateds put their perfect record to the test tonight in Detroit against a team many feel could represent the NFC in the Super Bowl this season. It’s a Monday Night matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Detroit Lions and AS English will be with you all night providing live coverage, stats, highlights and analysis of tonight’s marquee matchup from Ford Field.
