It was the type of loss that felt all too familiar for the Detroit Lions. After weeks of progress and exhibiting the style of play indicative of a professional franchise, the Lions found themselves right in the thick of the NFC North race.
In typical Lions fashion, just when it was all going right, the bottom fell out in a 28-14 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks. A scintillating start deteriorated almost immediately, and while the Seahawks dominated for a good portion of the game, it was the Lions’ own miscues that led to their demise.
