The official word came out yesterday that Marshawn Lynch and Brandon Mebane will miss the game against Detroit due to injury. That would normally be reason for Seahawks fans to worry. Not this time. Seattle has a favorable matchup, is playing at home, and gets a chance to see if two young players can build on terrific performances from a week ago.

The last time the Seahawks played an entire game without Marshawn Lynch was October 23rd, 2011 in Cleveland. He was probable heading into that game, but could not get his back to loosen up and wound up sitting out.
