The first real test for the Seattle Seahawks is here. We’ve got ourselves a Monday night road game against a presumptive Super Bowl contender in the Detroit Lions. Both teams are dealing with several injuries to key starters, but on balance the Seahawks are more impacted by virtue of how many defensive linemen and outside linebackers they’re missing.
If the Seahawks win against the Lions for the fourth year in a row, it’ll guarantee they will remain in first place entering their Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. If they lose, then it’s not the end of the world.
