Seattle — After showing steady improvement throughout the second half of the season, the Detroit Lions defense imploded in spectacular fashion during the team's final road trip of the campaign.
The Lions allowed the Seattle Seahawks to score on nine consecutive possession, including five straight touchdowns, in a 51-29 shellacking at Lumen Field on Sunday.
It was the first time the Lions allowed 50 or more points since a 2017 loss to the New Orleans Satins.
Things started off well enough for the Lions, forcing the Seahawks to go three-and-out on the game's opening possession, and responding by quickly moving into Seattle territory behind a pair of completions to rookie receiver Amon-Ra St.
