Much was made, leading up to this game, about these two teams’ newfound running game. The Lions and Seahawks were two of the most dreadful rushing teams in the NFL last year, but came into this game each ranked in the top five in 2018. It’s been a surprising about-face for both franchises and I was super curious to see how that element of the game was gonna play out.
The game started with the ball in Seattle’s hands, and they went about their business the way they have during their impressive last month.
