Detroit Lions Week 17 report card: Defense thoroughly dominated by Seahawks

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has received a lot of praise for what he’s been able to do with a ragtag roster full of undrafted rookies, practice squad players, and journeymen. He had brilliant game plans against the Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals, among a few others.

But after Sunday’s 51-29 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Glenn may want to make some room next to the buried game tape from the Cincinnati Bengals blowout. The Lions defense was worked up and down the field by Seattle on Sunday afternoon, and Detroit never recovered.
