The Detroit Lions play host to the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 17. Check out how you can watch the game for free if you don't have cable.
Detroit beat the Kansas City Chiefs 21-20 Thursday night. The Lions matched, or perhaps exceeded, the hype about their ascending franchise with a road win over the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs.
Brian Branch, the No. 45 selection overall, picked off Patrick Mahomes and returned the interception 50 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to help the Lions pull into a 14-14 tie. First-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs and second-round selection Sam LaPorta combined for 99 yards of offense. Gibbs, a dynamic running back, had 42 yards on seven carries. LaPorta caught two passes for 18 yards and was a key blocker on some plays. Linebacker Jack Campbell, drafted No. 18 overall, had two tackles.
Meanwhile, Seattle’s 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the opener was the worst home loss for the Seahawks in six years and one of the worst home defeats in Pete Carroll’s tenure. The Seahawks have always found ways to be competitive even in defeat, but the performance against the Rams was a deflating effort that left players questioning whether Los Angeles simply wanted to win more.
Much of the offseason concern about Seattle’s defense was whether the changes made would result in a run defense that could be better than 30th in the league. While the Rams didn’t need to run the ball much with the success they had through the air, Seattle’s run defense was at least respectable in the opener. The Rams averaged 2.3 yards per carry and most notably limited Cam Akers to 29 yards rushing on 22 carries.
