One of the big draws for receiver Golden Tate when signing with Detroit back in 2014 was the offense and how it was built around quarterback Matthew Stafford and the passing game.
“I’m leaving a run-heavy offense to a pass-happy offense, so that’s exciting,” Tate said in his introductory press conference after signing a five-year deal in Detroit after spending his first four seasons in Seattle.
It’s somewhat ironic that heading into Saturday’s playoff matchup in Seattle, the Seahawks have now become more of a passing team than the ground and pound team they were when Tate left.
