Key matchups

Lions DE Charles Harris vs. Seahawks LT Charles Cross: Rookie Aidan Hutchinson gets more attention, but Harris is the Lions’ best defender and the team will be counting on him to jumpstart its pass rush after a quiet day last week. Harris has one sack (for a safety) and four quarterback hits on the season, according to Pro Football Reference, but he has set up at least two more sacks with his rush and is a force in the run game.
